Ed continued to meditate patiently in the empty void, and inestimable amounts of time continued to pass. Eventually, a new illusory figure appeared in front of Ed, and it was someone he immediately recognized. "Mayor Mick?" He questioned in surprise. Truthfully, he had no real emotional attachment to the deceased mayor, so he was unsure as to why he was seeing him here.
"Mm." The man nodded while rubbing his beard. "It's been a while." He looked around the void. "Where are we?" He asked.
"I figured you'd know already." Ed replied. "We're in the place where you learn golden faith energy."
"Oh?" Mayor Mick nodded in understanding. "So, why am I here?"
"Your guess is as good as mine." Ed shrugged as he returned to meditating.
After hesitating a moment, Mick moved behind Ed and copied him in sitting down in meditation.
