'Since when did you know?' Aki asked Reiji.
'It's been a few days. I went to Ruan Castle and she approached me by herself.' Reiji explained.
Erliyen has pride in her every action, yet she had told him about what she had done to Erza. Even though the memory didn't return and was still vague, Aki was able to feel the desperation, frustration and the loss of losing Lycus. Aki understands why Erliyen would tell Reiji about Lycus. Erliyen must have been feeling guilty. After all, she knows how much she had hurt Erza. When Aki met Erliyen, he didn't recall about Lycus. He only remembered the massacre that he had committed on her behalf. To hide his identity about being a half.
'She is dying...Aki.' Reiji's eyes were teary. 'She wants to be forgiven.' Reiji looked to the other side to hide his tears.
