The couple hugged him back, glad to see a friend they had not seen for years. He welcomed the couple in his little room and saw Alice seated on his bed.
"How have you guys been? I met Alice and Fritz yesterday, and I told them I wanted to surprise you guys today after the 4th Mission. But it seems that I was the one who's been surprised."
San-kun offered the couch to the couple. It was the only available seat they could have. He was delighted, excited to exchange stories of their lives these past years.
"You seemed better now," said Fritz to Alice. He looked her in the eye, waiting if she would mention the incident on the island, but it seemed like she does not want to talk about it.
Stupendously, Alice acted as though she had no idea what transpired after she got beaten by Nade.
"I actually don't remember what happened after I got stabbed indiscriminately."
