The golden radiance in Robin's eyes, which had been focused like two piercing suns, began to fade little by little. The intensity weakened, as though the world itself was dimming, until finally it disappeared altogether.
Robin let out a long exhale, raised his left hand and rubbed the bridge between his eyes with deliberate slowness, massaging away the strain, while his right hand gently lowered the metallic tablet he had been holding. With careful precision, he placed it onto another tablet of equal size that rested across his thigh, the two heavy slabs clinking softly as they touched.
For a few minutes, Robin simply sat there, breathing deeply and evenly, letting the tension ease from his body. Each breath sounded like the controlled rhythm of someone who had seen far beyond the veil of ordinary sight. Only when his composure returned did he finally lift his head and glance around the hall.
