Meanwhile, in the Firmament, Regretless stood with Night and Cloud by his side. One silent due to lack of words, the other due to internal conflicts. The three stood before the Firmament Tree, with Regretless' eyes going up and down its kaleidoscopic shape with a profound sorrow in his gaze.
Sorrow made place for decisiveness, and he clenched his fists.
"Night, why are you still here?"
Regretless asked, making Night and Cloud snap out of their torpor.
"No tie bind us any longer. There is no need for you to keep following me. So why are you still here? Depart at once. The Firmament no longer welcomes you."
Regretless ordered, without turning his back. But though Night's emotionless eyes showed no change, Cloud's widened in disbelief.
"I don't know anything else, and have nowhere else to go."
Night simply replied. Cloud, however, didn't show such restraint.
