Lanci and Hyperion, who were originally sitting on the sofa, knew it was time as they watched the estate dissolve and Siegler disappear along with the vanishing sounds of the manor's piano music.
Hyperion was still reluctantly hugging Siegler a little tighter.
Yet, the more she tried to feel the soft little body of Siegler, the more she realized she could no longer touch her.
Not until the walls of the manor had completely vanished and the stars of Bokin County had shone their brightest did a profound darkness suddenly replace them.
In the blink of an eye, Lanci and Hyperion found themselves in a transparent square that seemed to be enveloped by an eternal starry sky.
"Hyperion, we'll see her next time."
Lanci gently patted Hyperion's shoulder, trying to comfort her as he looked into her downcast eyes.
He knew that Hyperion had always longed for a companion who shared her pain.
