He still hadn't recalled anything about his son before him.
But seeing Esther's expectant gaze, he couldn't bring himself to say that.
"Remembered some, very vaguely,"
Avent Jo had to say vaguely.
However, Esther seemed not to notice this and excitedly said, "That's great! That's wonderful! Now that you've returned safely, Mom would be so happy. While she was alive, she always hoped you would come back."
When he heard his son mention his wife, Avent was initially a bit uncomfortable.
Like with his son, there was no trace of his wife in his memories.
But when he heard "while she was alive," a sudden tremor shot through Avent's heart, and a very unfamiliar emotion welled up within him.
Sadness?
Mourning?
He was somewhat unclear.
He only felt that, at this moment, he should do something.
"How did she pass away?"
Avent inquired.
"'Sanctuary'!"
"She died in an assassination meticulously planned by the 'Sanctuary'."
"Those 'Faceless' disguised as you and assassinated Mom."
