Leonel was intelligent. At that moment, it clicked.
Ability Indexes weren't inheritable, but Lineage Factors were designed to be passed down. Because he knew about Sparks, he thought that Aina had just created her own and it seemed to make sense that such a thing would birth from her Body Clairvoyance Lineage Factor.
But this… this also made sense. In fact, it made much more sense.
Miel released Leonel's hand and looked into the distant skies, trying to regain his composure. The two men stood there in silence for a long while as he regained his composure, but Leonel didn't seem to be in a hurry.
"… You make my daughter happy."
It was hard to tell immediately if it was a question or not. He seemed to already have the answers he wanted from the wedding band, but it was hard to remove his distaste for Leonel in a single bound.
Even so, it didn't change Leonel's answer in the slightest.
"Between the world and Aina, I choose Aina."
