Why do the X lines fix when I enable the 65th line in CSS?

Can someone explain it to me why are they getting centered when I apply for position absolute? https://codepen.io/harunjonuzi/pen/NWOzwvQ?editors=1100

On your pseudo class for the "x" you need to uncomment the absolute position and center the lines. This should work:
position: absolute;
display:grid;
place-items: center;
position: absolute;
display:grid;
place-items: center;

My question is why is this happening, I know that position absolute fixes it... I just want to understand why does that seems to work

if you don't use absolute position the 2 lines will be placed in their normal position, one next to the other. If you comment out your rotations you will see this and will notice that neither of them are centered. So, when you rotate them they are being rotated around their relative center point and not the center of the cell. To further demonstrate this, if you only had a single line it would be centered as you expect as there is no other element pushing it away from the center.

sorry I miss-understood your original question - your question is clear, I just skimmed it badly.
