Realizing my soul world was essentially my home away from home, I did my best to make it nice looking. I had constructed a small home there. With more resources, I could construct a bigger place. My room, in particular, was filled with things from Earth, including stuff I had owned. As for how Shao had acquired such items, I wasn’t sure that I wanted to know.

I didn’t have power working in it yet, but I had acquired the parts that in theory, I could one day have a powered house. I just needed to read up on such electrical work. Perhaps Terra and Garnet would have more interest in that kind of stuff than I. I had acquired as many educational books as I could and had a massive library. Beyond that we a large log-cabin-like room with a fireplace and comfy furniture. It’s the kind of house I would have liked to live in if I had been rich on Earth.

As for resurrecting an animal, I didn’t want to even try. If I had to think about whether the animal had souls that was too much. No matter how effective eating an animal and then resurrecting it with a new body might be toward feeding the world, something about it felt wrong on every level, even if it did work.

After tinkering around a bit, I returned to my bed and took a nap. I wasn’t sure if sleeping in my soul world was the same thing as sleeping for real, but since my body was immobile in the same way, I figured it didn’t matter. Come morning, I felt refreshed, and that was what mattered. After waking Alysia up, we returned to the dark tunnel and began digging once again.
