Back in our past life, I've come across a lot of different situations. We built our bond through adventuring together. And through it, there's not a small number of dangers and ordeals that put our strength and cooperation to the test.
Even when I eventually surpassed all of them, nothing changed. I was too simple-minded that continuing the journey across the cosmos with Yuko and all of my Companions was my greatest ambition. That's why... when a roadblock in the form of Celestial Garden appeared before us, I immediately decided to do something crazy. Something that would the lives of others on a different scale than theirs in my eyes.
My Companions fully supported me in that decision but I recalled that at first, they also felt conflicted. Maybe I convinced them or they became convinced that nothing would change my mind. With that, they decided to take the same gamble as me for the little chance of a comeback.
