Elias stood at the dimensional boundary between the Infinity Realm and the multiverse, Sarah beside him looking slightly nervous despite her Sovereign-level cultivation.
"You're certain about this?" she asked for the third time in an hour.
"The probability calculations were favorable. Kaelen agreed to meet you. The situation is manageable."

"I've prepared optimal parameters," Elias corrected. "The actual execution will depend on human factors I can't fully predict."
Sarah laughed, some of her tension easing. "There's the Elias I remember. Trying to apply mathematics to feelings."
"It worked reasonably well so far."
"Did it? Because I recall you completely failing to tell me you had feelings for me until after you'd died."
"That was a suboptimal outcome," Elias admitted. "I've improved since then."
