Finland wanted to ask whether Katia was Caspar's former fiancée, but she felt it was not in her place to interfere with other people's personal affairs, but she wanted to know what caused the failure in their relationship.
Katia said that Caspar did not return her love. But, how would that be possible considering that they were engaged for decades...?
"If he didn't love you, why did you leave your family for him?" Finland asked softly. "Isn't it obvious that it is tantamount to hurting yourself?"
"Uhmm... the situation was quite complicated at the time and we had to decide quickly," Katia answered. "I couldn't stay young forever, so I had to make a quick decision on whether to follow him or not."
Katia sipped her tea slowly and closed her eyes. She remembered the events of decades ago just like it was yesterday. The most memorable was when Caspar told her that he was an Alchemist, able to live forever.
