He didn't know what was happening inside the building, but he felt an energy explode from the surroundings again. This time, instead of it condensing into one area (which was the anchor point before), he felt it spread out, and a flash of light and energy seemed to form at the edge of the lot.

Instead, he found himself leaning forward just slightly, as if the screen wouldn't adjust distance accordingly on its own.
Oh? He mused. A secondary occupation!?
