Chapter 77: Casi
After our hormones had settled somewhat, we decided that I would sleep downstairs, and the girls would stay together in Veronica’s room.
Of course, I didn’t really have to sleep, so I spent some time pondering whether Oliv truly had no objections to what had just happened. Then my thoughts drifted to another topic.
I contemplated how an object situated between two black holes could travel back in time. From the mathematics derived from the distortion of spacetime by gravity, it was clear that this was possible.
Had no one in the vast universe or cluster explored the possibility of time travel to the past?
Certainly, the forces acting on atoms in such a place are millions of times greater than the force required to split an atom, but I was still intrigued by the possibility.
When I fell asleep, I found myself again in the world of dreams. The number of comets streaking across the sky had already surpassed 20, and the pace of their appearance seemed to be increasing.
The previously red sky and earth had lost some of their color, transitioning into a faded red, as if attempting to heal.
I slept for about an hour and woke up refreshed.
In the morning, almost everyone had a hangover, but I was completely fine.
Around 9 a.m., I was sitting with Oliv and the others at breakfast when suddenly my cellphone rang. I quickly fished it out of my pocket and answered. It was Rick.
"Rick, how’s it going?"
