Tinasha:  "The laws of magic are called that because they exist on the laws of magic’s plane of existence, but they do apply to other planes as well. That’s why humans can use spells here… It’s no different from the laws of our so-called world itself. Even though our world is made up of multiple planes of existence, it is not divided into those separate planes—it’s all one world. My degree of sight may be different from yours, but that doesn’t change what exists, does it?” With a snap of Tinasha’s fingers, a pale spray of magic flared to life.

Oscar:  Oscar could see it because of the magical sight drills she had put him through. And as the preeminent mage of her era, Tinasha could view much, much more than he could. But that didn’t mean the world itself was different.

Tinasha:  “Thus, it’s possible that a law outside the laws of magic exists. But one that contradicts the laws of magic cannot exist on another plane. That would be like repudiating the world itself.”

Oscar:  “I… think I get it?” Oscar answered doubtfully.

Oscar:  He had a vague sense of comprehension.

Oscar:  “Then what about something beyond this world?”

Tinasha:  Tinasha’s eyes widened like a cat’s. "What?"
gpt
Oscar:  “You said that the different planes of this world all share the same laws. So then what if it’s coming from outside all that?”

Tinasha:  “From beyond the world… What is that supposed to mean? Don’t bring up something so absurd from out of the blue.”

Oscar:  “You’re the one who said that something going against a law of magic would put it at odds with the world.”

Tinasha:  “But that doesn’t mean jumping straight to the idea that another world might exist.”

Oscar:  “Has it been proved that one doesn’t?” Oscar pressed.
human
Oscar:  For him, these were all perfectly natural questions to ask.

Tinasha:  Tinasha fell silent, utterly flummoxed.

Tinasha:  She pressed a hand to her mouth. “It hasn’t been… proved, no… But even so… it’s impossible to verify the nonexistence of anything past our world.”

Oscar:  “Yeah, I bet it would be. There’s no telling how many different planes there are here,” Oscar reasoned.

Oscar:  His remark about another world had been an off-the-cuff musing. Verifying it any further would be difficult. Yet the subdued look in Tinasha’s dark eyes betrayed that she was stuck on the possibility. She was sinking deep into the ocean of her thoughts. Oscar watched her studiously. He was well acquainted with the siren’s beauty she possessed. Tinasha was a queen and a young girl all at once. A fearsome mage… and just a very adorable person. Finally noticing Oscar’s eyes upon her, Tinasha looked up. For a second, her face paled as if she’d remembered something, then she immediately turned red.
