"The truth is…Ary isn't something you can think of."
Marinette called out.
"What do you mean?"
Erica, who still hadn't caught up to what Marinette was saying, asked.
"He's someone that I used to love a lot…"
Marinette replied, as her voice turned slightly brittle, adding,
"He's actually…the reincarnation of the person that I loved the most."
"Huh?!"
While Erica, on the contrary, was left shocked after hearing about this reincarnation thing.
"He's a... reincarnation?"
She repeated in a perplexed voice, with a bewildered expression on her face.
"Yes,"
Marinette nodded, replying,
"At first, I didn't understand why I had a strange feeling whenever I saw him. But after seeing his memories and recognising the fragments within him, I understand that the person who left me in despair…finally returned to me... yet..."
She rolled her eyes toward Erica, adding,
"This time he already had someone he loved."
"..."
Erica didn't reply but lowered her gaze.
"You know,"
