"My dear, come here." A voice seemed to drift from far away, echoing in her heart. She listened to the call, relaxing as she let the gentle voice guide her. It sounded so soft, so familiar.
Her footsteps moved uncontrollably toward the platform, leading her to one of the pillars. It looked identical to the others, yet it gave her a different feeling.
As she stopped in front of it, the voice in her heart grew louder, urging her to step closer.
She obeyed. Then, her hands stretched out, touching the pillar. She placed her forehead against it, and suddenly, she felt herself being pulled into another dimension.
She was alone. Her companions remained outside. She could see their anxious expressions shift into relief as Xiao Yun spoke to them.
She also saw her brother approach, searching for her. Under Xiao Yun's words, he suddenly walked toward the same pillar she had entered.
She thought she could greet him, but the moment he placed his forehead against the pillar, he disappeared.
