Luvi thought for hours. Hours and hours of pondering about runes filled with questions and possible answers. She felt like a scholar the way that she was examining the magic in her mind’s eye. She thought about umbral runes, mostly. They were so strange and bizarre that she had a hard time focusing on anything else as time passed by in a blur.
She didn’t even realize that Goku was awake when he looked at her. She was too busy thinking about whether there were any umbral runes that might be able to mentally handicap people. They could dull senses and the body, but could it do the same for the brain? What about the soul? Following that train of thought, she wondered if was somehow possible to use runes without a spark’s help altogether.
Hours more passed, likely far after Goku would eventually decide to leave and go do something else. Sometime early in the next morning Luvi would have an epiphany. A rune would finally start to come to the forefront of her thoughts. A strange looking rune who’s function she couldn’t decipher. Once she pictured it in her mind, she imagined herself touching it and inspecting it closely from every angle.
Her eyes slowly opened. She’d learned the rune, but she still had to test it out. After she got something to eat, anyways. The last thing she wanted to do was experiment when her body was crying out for food. If by some chance Goku was still there she’d ask if he wanted to join her for breakfast.

Goku ended up leaving the room after some time, giving Luvi space to continue her deep meditation. He spent the rest of the day training on his own and trying to practice his defiance magic with little success. As the sun set and the night passed, he grew increasingly concerned about Luvi’s prolonged trance.
The next morning, Goku returned to Luvi’s room, his worry mounting. He quietly entered and sat on her bed, watching her closely. She had been in this meditative state for an unusually long time, and he wasn’t sure if it was normal or something to be concerned about. He was just about to gently wake her when her eyes fluttered open.
"Hey," Goku said, relief evident in his voice. "I was getting worried about you. You've been in a trance for a really long time."
He watched as she adjusted to being back in the present, clearly still processing whatever she had been focusing on so intently. He felt a mix of admiration and concern for her dedication.
"How are you feeling?" he asked, hoping she was alright. "It must be tough to come out of deep meditation like that."
When she mentioned food, Goku's face lit up with a smile. "Yeah, food sounds like a great idea. Let's get something to eat."
With that, he stood up, ready to accompany her to get breakfast. He was eager to hear about what she had been meditating on and share his own struggles with practicing defiance magic.
