"Kelvin," Noah interrupted, "I need to tell you what happened with Sophie and Lila. Things are getting more complicated."
Kelvin looked up from his examination, immediately serious. "I'm listening."
Noah opened his mouth to explain, but before he could speak, a new notification flashed across his vision. Unlike the familiar blue of his system, this one was red and urgent:
[UPDATE ON STORM]
[Evolution Progress: 92% Complete]
[Estimated Time to Completion: 48 Hours]
[WARNING: Environmental Conditions Critical - Maintain Isolation]
Noah's heart raced. "I need to check something," he said abruptly. "Give me a few minutes."
Concern flashed across Kelvin's face. "System stuff?"
Noah nodded. "Storm's evolution. I need to see for myself."
"Go," Kelvin said immediately, understanding in his eyes. "I'll be here."
Noah stepped back into an empty corner of the room, closed his eyes, and whispered, "Domain."
