"What happened?" Philip asked himself, sensing a movement within his untainted core memory island that piqued his curiosity.
It was then that Doug's voice resonated in his mind, "Gerald has become an empath."
Philip froze, halting his collection of golden seashells, his surprise evident.
Despite being aware of Gerald's talent in mentalism, Philip hadn't realized the extent of his capabilities. Gerald had only become a mentalist about three months ago, just a few days after Philip became a dreamwalker.
Philip found this progression abnormal. He understood that the daunting requirement of facing 100 million nightmares often hindered dreamwalkers in their advancement. This explained why the ratio of dreamwalkers was higher among the mentalists in Bryxton City.
