Inside her room, Sarah was currently wrapping bandages around Alex's wounds while the silver head remained lying there silently.
His eyes gave the evidence of him being in a daze, urging Sarah to ask, "Is it something relating to the curse that's troubling you?"
Alex slowly nodded as he gazed at his first love and uttered, "I...don't know why, but the more time I spend in that state, the more I realize that this Curse is not inflicted on me. Rather, it's a part of who I am."
Sarah took a deep breath as she said, "Truth be told, Alex, you were unnaturally strong for an average human in the last life as well. At that time I never wondered or suspected anything since there was no such thing as magic on earth."
Alex nodded, "Yes, now that I think about it, the sword arts I learned; it wasn't like I was the best swordsman, but I was able to learn something that far surpasses human limitation."
