Chapter 51: Chapter 51: System's Exploration

Elio opened his book again, his eyes scanning the information about the salamander over and over. There had to be something he could use, some way to...

As he closed the book, Elio noticed how similar it was to a door opening.

"Hey," he whispered, catching the creature's attention. "See this? It's important. Very important."

The salamander observed the book with renewed interest.

"I need this to happen," Elio continued, pointing at the book and then towards the door. "Outside. Understand? Open. Important."

The salamander blinked, its gaze alternating between Elio and the book.

Elio repeated the process several times, pointing at the book, opening the cover, then pointing at the door, murmuring "important" over and over. He didn't know if he was achieving anything or if he was just wasting time, but he had to try.
