Chapter 32- A night over

We let go at last and sat back on the sofa quietly. Truth be told, we had no idea what to say to each other as we both face a little away from each with the TV running quietly in the background.

"It's nice to know how we each other feels. But I hope you weren't forcing yourself to ask it to make me feel better."

Sugi broke the silence. Her feet were pushing against each other as she held her palms tight. She was facing down a little with her snow like white hair covering a little of her face from a side view. She had a smile on as if she was relieved no matter what my answer to her was.

"Don't worry it wasn't like that, I meant it. I am glad we finally grew closer. But…"

I paused a little with as my previous up lifting curve on my mouth drops.

"I hope our relationship doesn't change too much or have too much weight just to because of this. I just wish we can continue being casual like we've always been"

After a few seconds of silent that felt like a minute, Sugi pushed herself up.

"Wanna play a game?"

She reached her left arm towards me that I lifted my head up to see. My arm reached, and my ringers wrapped on the back of her palm. With a pull from her, I stood on my feet.

"Sure. Could I send the night over?"

"Like always."

Sugi tilted her head to the left with a smile.

We jumped over the sofa and made it through the hallway to the circular room. The three-wooden door lied at the opposite end to us. The walls were blank white with five evenly spread white rectangular lights. The room had a plant pot with bamboo in it in the middle surrounded by a spray of wooden benches. A meter above the bamboo is a Cuboid with the square side facing down directly and stretching up to the three-meter-high roof. The cuboid growled in a dark yellow mixed with a little brown with a few small soft flower patterns imprinted onto it.

The door on the left opened as we got close, closing after we have gotten into the room.

"Welcome to my room."

Sugi said turning back to look at me while having her arms a little in the air.

"Good to be here."

Beyond the door is a half a meter tunnel with the left side being the original wall and the right beginning an extra layer above the side of a wardrobe. The floor fully grey carpeted with the walls on the side being a nice mix of pink and brown. The roof was in a dark blue as a white curved is stuck on the right-angle parts, connecting together the roof and wall inside the room. A two-part pushed in walls happened right ahead, located opposite to the low vertical bed which its end faces my direction. The mattress was surrounded by three rolls of horizontal dark pieces of wood; one for shorter and two for a longer side which was few centimeters away from touching the ground. A rectangular grid was placed a little behind the roll of wood that surrounds the mattress which touches the ground. The grid's height was 5cm short from the top of the wood roll, and as the mattress was placed ontop of the grid, the mattress appears thinner from the outside, adding a modern take. The wood surrounding the bed adds a nice texture which also works as a stepping step to make things better looking. The bed is covered in a think grey blanket with a long horizontal white billow at the top which touches the outwards extended headboard by half a meter out of bed with two pushed in roles that layered on top of each other which currently is used to hold some traditional solid books. The headboard is touching the opposite facing wall from me on the other side of the room takes up half of it while the other half is a large single glass door which starts a few cms away from the bed headboard.

I followed Sugi more inside as I stood in the line of the bed and looked back to see the two-piece closed sidewards sliding door that's part of the wardrobe. I looked to my left to see the two-rectangular pushed in places in the wall that's above each other with a thin 10cm gap in between. The lower one was small, and the top one was taller with the gap being the table that can be used. In the top and bottom, there're few slide doors that blend in with the wall which serves as small storage places.

I continued to walk forward to the large glass as Sugi sat on the bed waiting for me.

[Command: Open]

The glass side to the right into the gap in the wall that's behind the headboard of the bed. I took my step out into the carved half a circular platform with the flat surface facing the house. The place was empty with not much but a low metal pared fence on the curved edges that cane in pushed down. There wasn't a roof over it, which allows the sun to hit me. I took in a deep breath and went inside.

[Command: Close]

I was able to access these things due to me already receiving these permissions before in the past.

As I returned to the room, Sugi got off her bed. With a command, the bed flipped over as the longer side near the wall turned backward and stopped when the side that was facing us reached the wall. Magically, the items on the bed were still stable. The grid was shown as wood across the wooden frame of the grid is split in the middle with the edge on the frame stable and let the middle dropping to the side, reviewing a space that goes a meter or two below the floor. Space was dark with only a few blue light rays that you can see at the top

"Let's go."

"Hem"

We walked up the wood part at serves as nice staircase. I stood looking down a dark space below where it was supposed to be the mattress; I lifted my feet out and then the other.

[Command: Aura Gum]

Dropped I went and stopped with a soft bounce on the darkened and black carpet. A small glimpse of light shined through the open area on the walls along with some blue lights that came from the side lights on the black walls. Sugi jumped down and walked towards the two-three human-sized white and grey balls that hang off the roof of the room with a small white staircase to the opening inside.

I followed Sugi towards the direction as I took a clear look at it myself to see small holes to the inside was visible. The inside of the ball was completely lighted up which leaks through the opening and the holes and reflects a little inside the room to the nearby walls. Sugi was ahead of me and went to the right. The door of it shuts as I was walking on top of the staircase to mine. I got to the thick metal entrance and slid down a metal curve to the middle bottom of the lighted up sphere. Looking up in a standing position, there're small air holes around as the sound of wing swooping by the small opening in the black room to the outside is still hearable. I closed my eyes after sighting the white light from Sugi's sphere has disappeared.

[Command: preparation]

The opening that I walked through suddenly closes from the sides as a connection bar rolled at the bottom of my view which showed the progress of linking to the knowledge cube. The lights inside were darkened down by half as my feet begin to come off the ground. The percentage for the connection is hitting 50% as the wing sound from the outside can no longer be heard. The lights darken again, though I could still see my arms and feet clearly, it was a filling as if you're under the shadow of a tree. My feet were completely off the ground as my stomach region is about the middle of the sphere. The surrounding surfaces begin to pill of like thin paper than string. The surfaces were broken into parts and more as it spun slowly in a clockwise direction.

Preparation 100%.

The line was filled out in green as the word START is formed next to it. The strings around me stop moving as they stood straight directly pointing towards me like electrified hair.

[Command: Start]
