Astoria felt a little envious of Vaan. She hoped that one day, she could also make a contract with a cute spirit like his little fairy.
However, she wasn't sure if she had the same luck. After all, finding the spirits was one thing, but entering a contract with them was another.
They had to be willing.
Nevertheless, it wasn't just about having a contracted spirit; she also envied the relationship between Vaan and his Earth Spirit.
Vaan was like the sun; get too close, and his hot flames would only hurt her. After all, he wielded a vast amount of information and knowledge—something she couldn't begin to understand.
However, she had enough self-awareness to understand that a normal human could only store so much information and knowledge in their brain.
It was impossible to have no side effects at Vaan's level; he must have lost something in return for his knowledge. And that something was his humanity.
