The next day...
"Sonia…" Zach said after the spirit clothed him with a gallant robe.
Once his memory from his child form integrated in his mind, he spoke. "Did you bring me here while I was sleeping?"
"Yes, because your younger form might get confused."
"So, you lulled my child state early to meet this version of me?" he asked while preventing a smile.
Her eyes constricted as she stood. "You remember everything that happens when you're in that form?"
"I do."
"It's not like that," Sonia said before eyeing his hand. "Can I hold you?"
"Mm"
She led him forward while ensuring he could keep up with her pace.
"Where are we going?"
"Outside."
"Why take the long route? You can order the spirit to bring us to the area you desire."
"I know, but you haven't been doing your daily walk in your child form."
Zach squeezed her hand so she looked at him.
