"Ah yes, I recall Aqua doing that," Rose cupped her cheek, holding her cup of tea with her other hand.

"It is still absurd how you agreed to do that, Aqua," Jill said while shaking her head.

"True, how did my father and Owen's father manage to convince you to split the countries with an ocean, Aqua?" Alicia asked.

"I will miss you, Layla," Irene sobbed, embracing her life partner one last time.

"Uuh... Lady Irene!" Layla, the greater spirit candidate, cried as her namer let her go and stepped back from the transfer circle.
