Today is really a double delight

Elijah took a sharp intake of breath, filled not with surprise, but with shock!

"I wondered yesterday how she became so agile, her speech improved, and her memory partially restored! These are signs of her advancing! But when I switched abilities last evening, I hadn't advanced. So it must have been last night when she advanced? But why didn't I sense it? No... I did sense something! The sensation of advancement last night could have been either Charlotte's or Abigail's. I acted hastily! No, now is not the time to think about this!"

Elijah paced anxiously at the door.

"Abigail advancing to the Second Stage, on par with me, means she can break free from my control at any time. Yes... but Abigail didn't break free! Instead, she stayed quiet and even cooperated with Daisy to change clothes?"

Elijah calmed down.
