Kurayami had been lost in thought, his pace slowing as he conversed with the System, delving into the depths of his newfound power and connecting with the pain of the mother of creation. Eclipse's question snapped him back to the present.

"Nothing, Eclipse, let's continue," Kurayami replied, refocusing on their journey.

"It's nostalgia, Eclipse. After so many years, we find ourselves back where it all began, even though it's only been six months." Amidst the memories of their journey, Kurayami remarked. 

The tone of his voice hinted at the mixed emotions both of them felt as they stood in this familiar yet altered place. Kurayami wanted to express something important before they continued their journey.

"Eclipse, before we continue our journey, I'd like to say something," Kurayami said.
