The hall did not change.
But everything felt different.
Not outside—
But within.
Karna stood still for a moment longer.
Not to think.
But to adjust.
Because this—
This new perception—
Was not something he could ignore.
It wasn't a mere shift in awareness or focus; it was as if the very nature of existence had opened up before him, offering a panoramic view of the world he had never seen. The edges of reality itself seemed to shimmer in a way that was both surreal and perfectly natural. It was always there now.
Constant.
Unavoidable.
The flow—
Everywhere.
In the air.
In the ground.
In people.
Even within himself.
Lines.
Connections.
Movements—
That had always existed—
But were now visible.
Clear.
Precise.
Before, the world had felt like a maze, each turn a mystery, each step a gamble. Now, it was a map laid out before him, intricate yet entirely understandable. Each movement, each shift, was no longer a possibility to be guessed. It was a certainty.
