After they had been lying there for a while, Light stood up and said, "Well, I guess it's time for me to go.", Gen then stood up as well and said, "We still have a little time, don't you want to stay a little longer?", "Better not, even though they are stuck in my place, it's not the same. I better go soon so that nothing wrong happens.", "Got it.", Light went towards him, gave him a hug, and said, "Bye, Gen.", Gen put his hand on her head and said, "You mean see you later right?", "... yeah, see you later.". The two then walked away and Light walked towards Eli, she then took the black lines that were binding him, and released him from them. When he was released from the black lines Eli asked, "Are you guys done?", Gen then said, "Yes", "Ok.", Eli then looked towards Dehji, and released him from the Lines, and then said, " Light, whenever you are ready.", Light then said, ".... Ahh, let's get this over with."

She then walked toward the center of the room and said, "Okay, you can start.", Eli then said, "Okay.", and then the black lines in the room began to go toward Light, and gradually bound her body. As this was happening, Gen, Eli and Dehji looked in her direction and were silent, and seeing this she said, "Dehji!", Dehji was startled to be called by her and then said, "Y-yes?", "Because of certain problems Gen has caused, Eli and I are very limited in our essences, so you being the only one who can use your essence freely, you're going to have to take responsibility for protecting that idiot Gen.", "I understand. Leave it to me.", "Good, now that you've agreed, if I wake up again with Gen near death, you'll have to deal with me.", "..."

She then continued, "Eli, I know you are also with your limited essence, however whenever possible, help these two idiots. Dehji alone won't be able to take care of Gen.", Eli then said, "I will." She then turned to Gen and said, "As for you, troublemaker. See if you can go a week without almost dying.", Gen looked at her and said, "Hmm, it'll be hard, but I'll try.". Hearing this Light frowned and looked in Gen's direction, the two of them stared at each other for a while, until they both started laughing.

Light then said, "Hahaha, you're no good Gen, I know you're joking, but I bet in about five days at the most, you'll be in trouble, hahaha.", Gen then said, "Hey, give me some more time at least, I think I can manage a month.", when Eli heard this he said, "That's right Light, Gen deserves a little more trust, I give him a week for something to happen.", "That's right, at least a week ... No, hey Eli, wait a minute. There have been several times that I've gone more than a week without getting in trouble."

Dehji then said, "And you think sometimes is a good thing?", "Hey, what's going on here? I thought we were going to have a touching moment saying goodbye to Light, but out of the blue it became a moment to badmouth Gen.", Light then started laughing, "Hahaha.", Gen then asked, "Hey, what's so funny? ", and right after that, Eli and Dehji couldn't take it, and also started, "Pfft, haha ha.", "Hahaha.", Gen looked at this and said, "Guys, what's going on here?", but none of them stopped laughing, and seeing this Gen spoke, "You guys are really no good. hahahaha."

They continued laughing for a few seconds, until Light said, "Ahh, I'm going to miss this. Eli, let's go before I regret it." Eli then said, "Ok, bye Light," and continued to restrain her. Light was staring at them with a smile, and slowly her eyes began to close, and upon seeing this Gen said, "Light! I-", but was interrupted by her, who said with a smile, "I know ... Just don't take another three years.", "You bet, I'll get you out of there as soon as possible.", "Thank you Gen ...", her eyes then closed and everyone was silent.

Gen was standing looking in her direction, but suddenly, as if he had lost the strength in his legs, he fell on his butt on the floor. Seeing this, Eli and Dehji came towards him, and asked respectively, "Hey Gen, are you okay?", "What happened?", but as he got closer, they noticed that he was crying, and then he said, "How can I feel good knowing all that Light has been going through during these three years is my fault. I thought I was doing my best, but she's right, I was taking my time."

Gen then continued, "As of today there's no more fooling around.", he then stood up and said, "I think it's time for me to go back outside.", Eli then said, ".... It's true-", but suddenly he was interrupted, on his arms, legs, neck and mouth appeared black lines that bound him, and he then said, "Well it looks like I can't stay anymore either. Bye Gen.", and then he disappeared from the room.

Seeing this Gen said, "Well, I'm going Dehji.", Dehji then said, "Gen, I promise you that if you get the essences of my brothers, you will be able to solve all of this.", ".... Okay, thanks Dehji.", Gen then disappeared and returned to the real world. Dehji was left alone in the room and thought, 'The only problem will be her essence ... ahhh, no use thinking about that now. I bet Gen will figure it out ... I hope.'

Meanwhile in the real world.

Raja, Gerald and Karin were sitting at a table waiting for Gen to wake up, Gerald then asked, "What's going on with Gen?", Raja then replied, "He's in his inner world.", Gerald then asked, "Inner world? What is that?", Raja then said, "The inner world ...", and explained to both of them what it was about. Upon hearing this Karin asked, "Do all awakened people have an inner world?", Raja then said, "Yes.", "How do I get in there?", "Your essence needs to call you in there.", "And how do I get it to call me in?", "You just have to ask it."

Karin then closed her eyes for a while, and after a few minutes opened them and said, "I've asked several times, but my essence hasn't called me inside. what's going on?", "Don't worry. It's normal not to be able to enter right after awakening the essence, after all your essence would need to have consciousness in order to call you, and most of them do not have it when they have just been understood.", Gerald then asked, "Do essences have consciousness?"

Raja then said, "Gerald ... Yes, after some time of existence some of them develop consciousness.", "What do you mean some?", Karin asked, and then continued, "Could it be that mine doesn't?", Raja then said, "Karin, I would love to answer you, but for Gerald's sake it is better that I don't speak, at least not now.", Gerald then asked, "What do you mean Raja? Why can't I know about this?", "Gerald, you have to understand that everything has its time."

Raja then continued, "A baby first learns to sit, then crawl and then walk.", "What is this baby stuff out of nowhere?", "Well, it's just that I've watched my nephew grow, and ... Wait, that's not the point, I'm just making an analogy. You haven't even grasped your essence yet Gerald, so you are like a fetus, in this case a fetus of about seven months because you are rank red diamond. A baby can be born at seven months, but ideally, it should be born at nine, to be healthier, in the same way, you better take your time to awaken, and then you can seek to understand more about essences.", "I don't understand Raja, why would awakening earlier hinder me?"

Raja then said, "Well, there are several things that could happen, for example, by understanding more about essences, your view of them could end up changing, which in turn could cause you to change the essence you are going after. It could also be that as you accelerate your awakening, the essence that would be awakened becomes a lower essence, because you lacked some kind of understanding, or in the worst case, you could awaken the essence of the person who is explaining it to you." Gerald then asked, "I understand, but why would it be bad to learn, let's say, your essence for example?", "It's bad because, it is my essence. It develops based on my understanding of it, and that means that to level up, you would have to keep learning from me, or using my essence, discover your own path, thus ceasing to be dependent, but the vast majority of the time, one remains dependent forever."

Gerald then made as if he wanted to say something more, but Karin stopped him and said, "He is right Gerald. Take your time to awaken, no matter what happens I will always be there to protect you.", Gerald was surprised by Karin's words, and then he took her hand and said, "Ok Karin, I don't know how long it will take for me to become awakened, but I promise you that when I do, I will never let anything bad happen to you", "Haha, I know that.", they both stared at each other, and Raja seeing this thought, 'What? How did things come to this. We were having a nice chat about essences, and out of nowhere I started holding a candle to them. They're not going to kiss, are they? Gen you have to wake up soon so I can get out of here,' he then turned toward Gen, and realized that he was shaking a little, and then thought, 'Thank you!'
