Deciding not to disturb the doll, Ayano turned away from it and thoughtfully stroked her chin. The situation was not unusual – in her native world, such automatons also existed, and she had even met some of them personally. Could this mean that they, too, had come from her plane, or was it just a coincidence caused by the similarity of the worlds? And if so, then this implies a whole bunch of new mysteries, the answers to which may not be easy to find. Pacing back and forth in the shop in a pose of deep contemplation, she tried to formulate them in her mind.
- If we assume that they were summoned not by anyone else, but by the same astrological-celestial method, then by whom specifically from the royal family? Why and when?
- Were they summoned from her native world?
- If so, does this mean that there are not so many worlds in the universe that such a coincidence is possible? Can we conclude from this that the power of the celestials – limited in size – is not as great as it may seem to an ordinary person at first glance?
- What is a celestial being in this case – a fundamentally unknowable, supernatural entity relative to the ordinary world, which numerous barbarian peoples are accustomed to calling gods, or are they quite tangible actors with enough power to move a person from one plane to another?
- Even in her native world, there were portals from one place to another, created by people with a certain degree of magical talent. In the case of "worlds," it is not difficult to scale up a similar picture in one's mind, without resorting to vague philosophical descriptions of the universe. If all this lies within the realm of understanding, is it possible to reverse the process?
One theory clung to another, each previous thesis gave rise to a new one, and although, ultimately, at the moment, none of them could be confirmed, Nihonka felt that she had found some thread leading through the heavy fabric of understatement, in an attempt to conceptualize her current reality.
In the same thoughtful pose, she cast a mysterious glance at the saleswoman, trying to determine if she was a construct, and as if silently asking her all these unexpressed numerous questions.

-- A miracle, there's no arguing with that... -- The pause that followed these words gave them excessive ambiguity. -- But does it answer other questions?

It sets.
Under the influence of the spell, Raphael's mind was empty. He didn't even try to think about anything, he just waited for the spell to finish its effect.
