I opened a shop on the Astral Train

Kiana and Asmodeus were stunned. The other person looked exactly like them!

Asmodeus seemed as if he had just seen a ghost. "Why do you look exactly like me?"

Kiana shot back, equally confused. "I was just about to ask you the same thing!"

Yuri interjected, his voice calm. "You two are likely isotopes from different worlds, just like the two Himekos."

Realization dawned on Kiana and Asmodeus. They exchanged glances before linking arms and stepping aside to whisper amongst themselves.

Meanwhile, Bronya was deep in conversation with Silver Wolf.

"I recently found a virtual online game," Silver Wolf said, eyes glinting with excitement. "The setting is a punk-mechanical world where you can race motorcycles on the main roads. Interested?"

Bronya's eyes lit up at the mention of racing. "Let's go!"

Silver Wolf smirked and pulled out two sleek brain-interface devices. "This is a neural link headset. It connects directly to your neurons."

Bronya put one on without hesitation, but the device flashed red, unable to establish a connection.

Silver Wolf frowned. "That's odd. Do you mind if I scan your body?"
