Strange Happenings

Aiden paused for a moment, concern etched on his face. He said, "I've been keeping a close eye on this whole 'enlightenment' situation. It's supposed to be something that only a few hardworking individuals achieve. But recently, it's spreading like wildfire, and that's raising some alarms."

Mai, Akira, and the others exchanged worried glances, waiting for Aiden to explain further.

Aiden continued, "The thing is, it's not just happening here at Eden. It's all over the city. People are entering this 'enlightenment' state left and right, and it's unusual. It's not how it's supposed to work."

Laura asked, "So, why is that a problem? Shouldn't more people achieving enlightenment be a good thing?"

Aiden shook his head. "You see, it's not about more people getting stronger. It's about how it's happening. I believe I know exactly what's going on."

Akira leaned in, eager to understand. "So, you think you know? Please tell us!"
