Kovis listened and faintly smiled, then shook his head, lowered it deeply, and said no more.
Leon smiled and ruffled the boy's golden hair.
Compared to Gervin, who was always troublesome and mischievous since childhood... he found Azeryan, Lokhak, and Kovis...
Uh, well, maybe it's because of the overwhelming memories flowing backward from the River of Time, that his mindset was somewhat off.
Suddenly being raised a generation seems a bit unfair to his close friends.
"Goodbye, Acro."
Turning around, Leon walked towards the staircase only he could see.
Light... gradually seeped out from the crevices of the black Griffin Armor.
Pieces of heavy armor were removed, falling to the ground.
The gentle light of the Holy Sun, from all around, seemed to cloak Leon in a pure white robe.
"...Lola."
Leon raised his hand to his chest, feeling reluctant, but he still had to bid her farewell for the second time.
Yet he first heard a stubbornness unlike before.
