The next day, while alone in my room, I looked out of the window and tapped my finger. I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, white flowers that were in full-bloom filled my field of vision.

Once I saw the flowers swaying in front of me, I suddenly regretted being here, but I didn't leave. In fact, I couldn't tell whether the reason I'm standing here was because of a momentary impulse, or a decision to finally end this agony after countless hesitations.

Maybe it was both, maybe it was neither.

I walked in the flower garden for a while, thinking that it didn't matter. If I see someone that I've met before here, it's okay. If I don't get to see anyone this time, it's also okay. Yes, the truth is this is all sophistry, too. But what can I do if I don't even know how I feel?

Then, after a while, when I turned around, I could see him before me like a lie. The low wind slightly disheveled his neat silver hair. His golden eyes, like a handful of sunshine, opened a little wide and held mine from afar.

Ezekiel looked at me and whispered as if he couldn't believe I'm here now.

I had seen him for a moment when I went to Jeanette at the Alpheus mansion, but this will be the first time he'd seen me since Claude's last birthday banquet. He might have just heard of my return to the Imperial Capital after I went missing, so I understood why he looked doubtful of my presence.
