Chương 67: Katalan VII

"Luso was very energetic, in contrast to you," Adelle continued with a fond smile. "But, even though I could only see your eyes for a brief moment, both of you had that caring and warming look each time I saw them. Teehee."

Ervian raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Adelle's words. "But?"

Adelle's smile faded slightly, and she took a deep breath. "But ... yeah, mnn ... Luso is not here anymore. Not in this world."

Ervian's voice filled with sympathy. "Oh, did he ... pass away?"

Adelle shook her head, her eyes fixed on the distant stars. "No, no, no. At that time, I thought he was just like a son to Gramps' friend. But the more I learned about him, I realized that Luso wasn't originally from this world. He longed to go back home, and thankfully he did."

A somber expression settled on Adelle's face as she lost herself in the vastness of the starry sky above. The weight of her memories and the bittersweet feeling of loss resonated within her.
