In front of two similar mirrors, "understanding" and "love" eventually turned into a radiant glow, endlessly refracting within the mirror surface, casting infinite overlapping reflections, repeating forever.
The "Physical Link" that could convey pure emotion to another person in the first instant, even before one's own reason had noticed it... That short data cable had become the pure medium transmitting that glow.
The two sat beside each other, without intertwined fingers or lips locked together... Even without any display of affection, nor making any sound. Yet, the serene and tranquil atmosphere had already begun to permeate the air.
It was like the scent of burning dried tangerine peel, sweet but not cloying, with a hint of medicinal herb aroma.
The two closed their eyes, feeling time pass swiftly by.
This spiritual solace was undoubtedly a highly efficient method of relaxation and a purification for the soul.
