There's more people here than before, while some have left. I'm glad, no, ecstatic that Ion is still here. Ion, and Asch, Luke, Lorei, and the younger Luke. It's weird to see them again, though. I remember how I feel about the Fon Master, how they're my family now, but it's more a memory. It's hard to fit back into the place I left.
Asch is five years older than I am. Five years... many people don't see just how long they have left. It could be longer than that - he's here, and not living with the fonon in Auldrant - but I know I have at least five years. Van deserves more than death for this. He'd deserve death one of us, but he deserves to live in pain for shortening both of our lives.
... this hurts more than I thought.
What is going on? People keep shooting.
