Alex knocked on a door ahead in Sylas' stead. Even now, Sylas seemed distracted by something, almost like he was in a continuous state of endless, looping thought.
This time, though, those thoughts didn't seem weighed down by self-doubt. It instead felt like he was seeing the world with a fresh pair of eyes. His brain was moving faster, his thoughts were smoother, the things that he could connect and then reconnect through differing channels and with vastly differing schools of thought just felt endless.
Sylas just felt… smarter, somehow.
And he wasn't sure how that was possible.
