Anime style illustration of a mother and two young daughters floating in a cozy living room, surrounded by glowing magic circles.

The living room was quiet except for the mother’s steady voice, warm and low, the kind that made even the air feel softer. Her daughters—Lena, eleven, and Mira, seven—stood barefoot on the mat, eyes closed, hands resting lightly over their stomachs as she had taught them. “Slow breaths,” she murmured. “In through the nose… feel your ribs widen… and out.” They followed her rhythm, their chests rising and falling in near-perfect sync. The mother watched their shoulders relax, their foreheads smooth, their bodies settling into stillness. Gymnast training made them disciplined, but this—this was different. This was surrender. Lena’s brow twitched. “Mom… I feel kinda funny.” Mira chimed in, voice small but certain. “Me too.” Before the mother could respond, both girls lifted an inch off the mat. Their toes dangled, their hands still pressed to their stomachs, breaths still slow and deep. The air around them shimmered with a quiet hum. Lena’s eyes snapped open. “What’s happening?” The mother didn’t flinch. Her voice stayed calm, almost serene. “Don’t fight it. Just give in. Keep breathing.” And as they did, the girls rose higher—six inches, a foot, then more—floating upward like feathers caught in a gentle current, their hair drifting around their faces, their breaths steady and bright.
