But the warm moment was cut with a sudden realization that flashed across Charlotte's face as her eyes narrowed.
"Wait...if using his abilities is that extraordinary...why did Mika say earlier he was just 'tired' after using them? Why does he always get sleepy afterward? That doesn't add up."
Yelena's smile faded slightly, and she let out a quiet sigh.
"That..." She said. "...is something I've wondered about, too."
She crossed her arms, looking at the glass again.
"Mika always says he gets tired after using his abilities. Says it's because his mind has to enter something called the Lucid Realm or Lucid State, his mind's private world, a place where he can operate faster, more precisely, more efficiently."
"It's apparently a mental state that allows him to restructure mana at a hyper-accelerated rate. Every time he activates it, it burns through his mental energy like wildfire."
