"I can prove it…"
Bob's main Intention was to give Allie all the ingredients, in a both smooth and crunchy manner, that would allow her to make an informed decision about what she wanted to do regarding being with him or not.
Relationships took work and care and effort, like everything worthwhile in life, but the benefits were potentially immeasurable.
That said, this applied only to healthy relationships with a high degree of compatibility, where both people were aligned and supportive of each other.
Bob was under no illusions. It wasn't easy at all to find someone like that.
In fact, the more he trained and leveled up, the more he realised something.
The more Aware you became… the more difficult it was to find someone who was similarly aware and compatible, and yet the higher the payoff and potential if you did in fact find someone.
Bob knew that meeting Allie was like finding a diamond in the rough, and that was why she deserved to know.
He genuinely didn't know what would happen, and he would make no assumptions or hold any expectations.
But he would still do his best as usual.
That said… he didn't want to come across as showing off, arrogant or condescending like he was flaunting his wealth and status. He was truly only doing this because Allie had become so significant in his life that it was only natural that he didn't want to feel like he was hiding anything from her and he would naturally want to clear obstacles that would hinder their future development.
They would multiply and augment each other's potential but only if they were honest and completely trusting and supportive of each other.
"Allie… it might be easiest if we meet so I can show you in person(s). You let me know the time that might suit and maybe we could chat more then… You can bring a trusted friend if you want? How about we meet sometime outside the University Research Centre?
…Anyway, I know it sounds crazy, but it's true!
After all her years being in complex social situations, picking up the ins and outs of people and statecraft, Sally was pretty good at reading cues and particularly with her [Intuition of the Ice Queen] in effect, she didn't think Bob was joking…
And yet! At the same time, it did sound insane, like something dreamed up in-between writing webnovel chapters and on a constant sleep-deprived diet of instant noodles that were definitely increasingly becoming more 'gourmet' due to a recent generous increase in powerstones…
Speaking of this, we now cut to Author who was enjoying the heavenly aroma of a few pick-your-own ingredients as they tenderized, contributing their unique umami into the instant noodle broth…
Thanks to the esteemed readers' contribution, he had also been able to indulge in a pack of $4.95 for 100 packs of basic Oolong Tea which helped with the digestion and improved blood flow and circulation, leading to arguably better writing results…
___
There was of course lots of other delicious ingredients that he would have loved to buy… but Author would actually need more Powerstones in order for them to try… 🤭✨
He was absolutely grateful for everything he had and was enjoying putting one foot in front of the other, continuing to focus on his writing.
His focus was on working hard, living within his means, so he could glimpse a sighting…
Of a future which just might come to pass as technology got better
And what it might be like to live in such a world as a modernised go-getter.
Would humans still be needed once AI came into its own?
It was fascinating to consider, this potential unknown…
The Amoral Arcana was just the start
Of something that might trigger
Changes to Humanity on a global scale
a hint of something bigger…
…Anyway, as Author took small steps towards success, it was now time for the plot to progress…

No idea why my mind is currently only writing in rhyme…
I don't think it's all by my own design? ✨
I'm in the Zone so I'll just keep going
All my words just keep on flowing
Divine Actualised Power that's the key,
Writing words channeled from Eternity ✨🌻💖
(I'm a poet and I didn't even know it 😛✨ etc etc 🤔✨)

Ok back to the plot fr…
Was she dreaming?!?! Sally pinched her gorgeous cheeks - on her face - and felt that she was awake.
"…"
The words that Bob was saying… they didn't seem to be fake?!
She wanted oh so much to believe, but now make no mistake
She was gonna see if it was real for her future happiness' sake!
"Fine I'll meet you at that place
So that my fears you could displace
I know it's something I should face
How to find love with truthful grace… ✨"
___
Accordingly, they made a time to meet.
All the while Sally was trying to figure out if this was some elaborate prank, and of course she wasn't dismissing the possibility that Bob had truly lost the plot…
After the call ended, she slowly breathed…
Inhale for 4…, hold for 7… exhale for 8… This was the well-known "478 breathing technique"... followed by "Box" breathing, where she recalibrated herself alongside calming, focused visualization and mental imagery… these were basic strategies she had internalized and mastered in order to help her hone, heal and harness her heroine energies to the heights of wholesomeness, and soon, she felt her mind clear as she contemplated her next continuation.
She was still an Ice Queen after all. Even as she was processing and ass-essing what had just happened, she dialled another number, and made another call…
