"It's not strange," Shiao Yi had explained. "The distance was enormous. The farther you go, the more time shifts between the two places. That's why the sun's position is different."
Dominic frowned. "So the sun doesn't move… it's the ground beneath us that's moving?"
"Yes," Shiao Yi had said with a small smile.
Dominic shook his head, bewildered. "Impossible. If the ground is moving, wouldn't we all fall into the sky the moment it flips over?"
Shiao Yi had only laughed softly.
Even as they ate breakfast, Dominic could see how heavy Shiao Yi's eyelids had grown. Truth be told, Dominic himself felt just as tired. After finishing their meal, they had gone straight to bed, unable to stay awake any longer.
Later, Dominic learned that three whole weeks had passed since they had vanished. He and Shiao Yi had spent that long in the demon world? It hadn't felt like that much time.
Perhaps time flowed differently there, he thought.
