Leonel crossed the cosmos with Aina, his thoughts unknown to all but him. However, his mouth seemed to be in another world entirely, talking flows of continuous nonsense with his wife as though the entire world didn't want him dead.
Aina could tell that Leonel had something on his mind, but she was also gratified that he didn't seem to be weighed down by it. His calm wasn't faked, and that left her feeling at ease. She had long since reached the point of pure, absolute confidence in this husband of hers. There was no need to worry about anything else when he was around.
Days passed like this, but they still didn't find what Leonel was looking for. In the end, Leonel actually returned to the Segmented Cube. As for his reason why… it was his brothers.
They were awake now.

Leonel sat in front of them.
