On the slender, fair wrist, an icy metal band wrapped tightly, carrying a heavy quality and inescapable restraints.
Sitting in the brilliantly sunny garden, Chu Yu lifted her wrist and gazed quietly at the light.
What she once dreamed of obtaining, now that she had in her hand, felt like an illusion that everything was vain and false.
She had hoped the bracelet could send her home, but after getting it, she discovered that it actually couldn't do that. Breaking the barriers of time and space required energy several times that of simple spatial transfers. And the energy stored in this bracelet wasn't enough to complete even one activation for crossing.
Put more simply: the battery was low on power. Now, the energy slot in the bracelet showed two notches, five being full, and three notches were needed to let a person cross through time and space.
Such a loss, too great a loss.
When Chu Yu regained her focus, she couldn't help but feel this way.
