Phanes narrows her eyes when she looks at Kyrie but soon softens back her eyes. She kneels and hands over half a small loaf of bread.
"Sorry, but this is all I have," says Phanes, "Please eat this to gain some strength to go on."
Phanes looks at Ian, who is still sleeping on Kyrie's shoulder.
"Thank you," Kyrie takes the bread from Phanes's hands.
Kyrie's eyes land on the man next to her.
[Erebus.]
Erebus smiles brightly as he tousles Kyrie's hair.
Phanes remarks, "I hope that you guys can be sincere with each other."
Kyrie stares at them, shocked. Not only is Phanes, who is supposed to be dead, in front of him, but also Erebus, who has been described in the novel to be evil and merciless. Knowing that both of them are gods in front of him, he wonders if both of them are listening to his inner thoughts.
Nonetheless, Phanes's words reach his heart. Is that the power of gods?
