Night had fallen, the Twin Palace stood solemn.
Around the Abyss's opening, several long tables were placed, covered with all sorts of books. Igula sat buried in his studies, rubbing his eyes when they grew weary, using Water Therapy Technique Spirit to massage his retina, and then continuing to pore over the texts.

The Twin Sect wasn't without cloud storage, but that also required identity verification, and not just Igula, even the Twin Sect had merely pet-level access.
