The remaining time for the round was 36 hours. While it was three and a half hours more for Alex, that was still a short time, especially considering it became harder to come up with new recipes as time went on.
Alex took hours to go through the ingredients and finally came up with something that felt like it might work. He wasn't completely sure, but he had to try.
He followed the ingredients in his mind, trying to place one after another to reach the right target. This was what he was looking for, and this was what he had received.
In the end, he arrived at a pill made to attune one to most sounds and melodies.
Alex frowned. This was a good pill, but he felt he had another choice here—a different, better choice. The ingredients were right he felt, but the arrangements needed to be changed.
Alex went through the recipe, trying new arrangements to bring out the aspects he wanted to emphasize, but no matter how much he tried, he just couldn't reach that final recipe he wanted.
