Everyone felt a gentle pull on their bodies, causing them to lean forward half an inch against their will.
The Purification Orbit scattered a silvery glow.
The moment the light touched their bodies, everyone in the hall felt a warm current surge into their limbs and bones.
Old, hidden injuries from years past, and even minute damage they hadn't noticed, were being silently dissolved.
Everyone was inexplicably shocked, their eyes filled with excitement.
The most shocking was the Time Orbit.
It spun the slowest, so slow that the movement of every single point of light was clearly visible.
But the things it disturbed made everyone's heart skip a beat.
The light of the candles split into countless afterimages near the Star Orbit.
A bird flying past the window froze in mid-air for an instant before continuing to flap its wings.
Even their own breathing seemed subtly displaced, as if coming from a great distance.
The entire hall fell silent.
