After finishing a normal lunch, Arro entered his little cubicle, closed his eyes, and rested.

It was simply that the human brain was unlike a computer, where every file could be seen at a glance. So, when one wanted to activate a particular neural structure in the brain,
it was best to issue a distinctive and special command, so as not to confuse it with one's other neural
