"Well… That's two down" Alteea said, clapping once. "Egos bruised the correct amount. Who's next?"
"Lynea" Raizen said. He tipped his chin toward her boots. "You've got your fragments. Maybe you could shape them into - wheels?"
"Wheels?" Lynea asked, blinking in confusion.
"Something like skates. Small rings, near your ankles? So they match your balance."
The engineers along the wall straightened. Saffi's stylus stopped mid-stroke.
Lynea looked at her hands, and frowned. A soft chime answered - fragments lifted from the inside her sleeves, dozens of small pieces rising.
"Ohh, so that's where you've been hiding them!" Esen laughed out loud, silenced by Hikari's look that warned him about another possible kick in the shin.
The fragments circled her heels, clicked into each other, forming crescents beneath each sole, then overlapped and locked until two smooth rings remained in the air, right next to her ankles, keeping her somehow levitated.
Lynea shifted her weight forward.
