Waves of Desire

Tension filled the space of the fourth dimension as Rizal and Professor Indri focused all their thoughts and consciousness on the towering 'mirror' before them. They had tried various methods, from meditation to visualization, yet the mirror's surface remained immovable, only reflecting back an endless sea of possibilities.

Fatigue began to gnaw at their resolve. Doubt crept in amidst a glimmer of hope. Were their efforts in vain? Were they destined to be trapped in this foreign dimension forever?

"Almost there," Rizal whispered to himself. "I can feel it. We're almost finding its frequency."

Professor Indri, his face pale with exhaustion, lifted his head.

"Don't give up, Rizal," he said, his voice hoarse but resolute. "Focus on our goal. Remember what we've learned about this dimension. It responds... to desire."

Desire. The word echoed in Rizal's mind, touching something deeper than mere thoughts. It was no longer about equations or theories but about a profound longing to return, to go back to the world they knew, to the people they loved.

Rizal closed his eyes, shutting out all the confusing lights and colors of the fourth dimension. He envisioned Professor Indri's proud face upon achieving success in their research. He imagined the warmth of his family's embrace as they celebrated together. He pictured the aroma of coffee in his favorite café, where he often discussed scientific theories with his colleagues.

And for the first time, he wasn't just 'thinking' but also 'feeling'. He felt that longing flowing from within him, a wave of energy so strong and pure.

Unbeknownst to him, a faint blue light began to emanate from Rizal's body. The light grew brighter, stronger, resonating with the longing he emitted.

And on the surface of the fourth-dimensional 'mirror', a reaction began to occur. The chaotic and erratic reflections started to coalesce, drawn towards the increasingly bright blue light.

A spiral-shaped portal, glowing bright blue, formed in the middle of the mirror. Within the portal, Rizal could clearly see a depiction of their laboratory, exactly as they had left it.

"We did it, Professor!" Rizal exclaimed, his voice trembling with joy and hope. "We found our way home!"
