Though we haven't known each other for long, that doesn't mean that we can't make more memories together.

Lying down on her bed, Rera looked up to the ceiling. She zoned out as she realized how bored she was. With the Pocket Dimension destroyed, Rera's training was paused. She was not allowed to do anything training-related, so she was forced to go back to her ordinary life — the studying life.

"..."

"Aaa...I'm so bored. Should I finish reading the book Zhongli gave me? Mmm...I don't wanna read something right now..."

"..."

Tossing to the side, Rera sighed heavily. 

"Hmm...never thought I'd have a day like this. What should I even do..."

"..."

"Ah. That reminds me. Loki, are you there?" Rera called in her head.

"Yes, my lady?"

"Mind if I kill some time in there? I'm bored."

"Sure."

Shuffling out of bed, Rera stepped into the darkness of her shadow — a staircase leading down. Descending, she sees a familiar door. Reaching for the handle, Rera opens the door, revealing her old room from Earth.

It was the same as she had left it. From the furniture to consoles to appliances, to even the tiniest detail. It was as if she was home again. Like everything up until now was a dream. But one good look in the mirror proved that it wasn't. That it was reality.

The view from the window was the same, it never changed. A mansion atop a mountain, looking down at the cities and lights as if they were mere attractions. Thousands of cars drove by on the roads, and yet, it was still quiet. The warmth of the sun and the breeze of the wind were the only things she could feel. Nevertheless, she would find herself to enjoy the view. 

Sitting on a large beanbag, Loki scrolled through his phone. If it weren't for Rera being reincarnated, then she would've seen this as normal. Matter of fact, everything would've been a part of her normal everyday routine.

"..."

"Wow, this existed this entire time?" Rera spoke.

"Not really, I made it just recently." Loki replied, eating a potato chip.

"...So you're telling me that you could remake anything from Earth and you didn't bother telling me?" 

"Y'know, I kinda thought that you would figure that out the minute I brought Coca-Cola to Teyvat." 

"You had some in the Shadow Storage, I thought you got it from there."

"I do, but if it was from the Storage, then I would've advised you to save them because it's limited."

"..."

"...Ah, whatever." Rera sighed, "Anyway, is it possible to train here?"

"Here as in your room that I managed to recreate, or in the Shadow Storage?"

"Shadow Realm, Shadow Storage, what's the difference?"

"..."

"That's a great question..."

"You made both and you still can't differentiate?"

"Uhh...Shadow Storage is a storage space, and Shadow Realm is where I usually stay when I'm in your shadow."

"If the Shadow Storage is a storage space, then what do you call all of those rooms down the hall?" 

"...Uh, extra space...?" Loki shrugged awkwardly.
