The information compiled in the Spirit Book left Kadi dumbfounded, completely throwing him into a state of confusion. Forward-Time People and Reverse-Time People were already bewildering enough, but now Time-Leaper People had emerged, complete with their own subdivisions. It's truly maddening...
Kadi put down the Spirit Book and kneaded his temples firmly. I hope this clears up the mess in my head, he thought. Thinking this hard really takes a lot out of me.
Igor looked at the bewildered Kadi with sympathy. He, too, was hearing these concepts for the first time. He completely understood Kadi's struggle to accept these novel ideas. If I'd heard all this a few years ago, my reaction wouldn't have been much better than his, Igor mused.
Now, however, he grasped these concepts more quickly than Kadi. He had always been interested in novel things, and he had a good mentor at Yonder Travel Academy. He'd heard Teacher Hadi mention such odd phenomena in passing before.
