[I was sleeping on the Couch, just aside of my car. An alarm on my smartphone woke me up. Daimon was a bit checking out my car's components.]

Peter: Hey Daimon... what you're doing?

Daimon: Oh, I'm just... checking out your car, if everything's fine and in order. Oh and you've got an package from someone named "Sojourn". Don't worry, I didn't opened it and peeked what's in it.

[The package was laying on the table. I took it and I've looked for something to open it up. I used Daimon's screwdriver to open it. There was a smartwatch in a bubble wrap, and a note attached to it.]

[The note said the following: "For passing my trials. This will change the view of your world."]

Daimon: A smartwatch?

[I wore it on my wrist. And I've heard a voice.]

ESAC: Environmental Smartwatch Analytic Computer is activated. ESAC online. New user registered. Welcome, Peter.

[It felt like it was an Augmented Reality. I was looking around the options, and then I asked ESAC what it can do.]

Peter: Okay, ESAC, what can you do?

ESAC: Possible options! Option 1: Check the Car's Components and highlight  the damaged ones. Option 2: Scan the area for threats. Just say the word.

Peter: Check car's components.

ESAC: Highlighting now...

Peter: Wow.

Daimon: What's that?

Peter: Dude, I can see insides of my car, and check which part is damaged.

Daimon: Well... do you see any damages?

ESAC: No major or minor damage detected. Car condition: Good.

Peter: Not at all, everything's highlighted in like... Forestal Green.

Daimon: Forestal Green?

Peter: It means it's in Perfect Condition.

Daimon: W-wait... so... you got now an X-Ray in your eyes, because of that Smartwatch?

Peter: Well, sounds like it.

[Daimon's smartphone started vibrating.]

Daimon: It's Lena. [picks the call] Oh hey, sister. How are you today?

[I've struggled a bit to disable that "car x-ray". But I've managed to turn it off.]

Peter: ESAC, Car X-Ray off or something...

Daimon: Oh... I'm glad you're feeling a bit well today. 

Daimon: Yeah. Peter, here. And about your hovercycle...

Daimon: Huh? You wanna speak with him?

Daimon: Hang on.

[Daimon passed his phone to me.]

Peter: Hey... it's me.

Lena: Hey, Peter.

Peter: Well, like I said yesterday, I've returned to Daimon's.

Lena: You know... I... called him to say, how are you feeling today?

Peter: Erm... I'm fine. What's wrong?
