His red eyes darkened as he recalled the foggy landscape, he recalled the beautiful lady that seemed to be an older version of the princess that he had grown fond of over the past year. He remembered how the lady had presented himself in front of him— magenta eyes filled with sadness that he couldn't understand.

"A Psychi. How dare you present yourself to me," he had scowled at the intruder that aroused him from his eternal slumber, "have I not made myself clear to your master that I don't give a damn about the sufferers?"

"I didn't come here for the World Tree, Lucas," she spoke softly, bowing her head.

He frowned.

"Your wish has been granted. Leave."

And as she faded away in a bright pale pink light, her platinum blonde hair fluttered, her magenta eyes hidden away from him— it didn't stop his red eyes from tracking the warm smile on her lips as she whispered her last words: Thank you, Lucas.
