As soon as the button was pressed, Nora felt a surge of energy run through her body. She felt her mind expanding, and her senses becoming more acute.

As Nora watched the vision, she felt a sense of connection to the girl. She felt like she knew her, like she had seen her before.

"Nora," the voice said. "I'm so glad you're here. I've been waiting for you."
Nora's eyes widened in shock as she looked around the room. Who was speaking to her? And how were they speaking to her inside her own mind?
