Maiyu blinks repeatedly, immediately noticing the difference in his appearance.
His hair is no longer tied neatly together but falls freely about his shoulders. The most noticeable changes however were his clothing style; now sporting loose-fitting shirts and shorts rather than jackets and trousers. It appeared as though he'd been living comfortably while staying away from the academy.
Noticing her gaze lingering on his attire, he smiles reassuringly telling her, "you've grown so much stronger these past few weeks, you had not hallucinated about what had happened years ago."
Nodding quietly, she looks towards the window noticing the sun beginning its descent beyond the horizon casting shadows throughout her room.
Turning to see him staring intently at her, she asks, "do you have any clue about the journal?"
He shrugs and walks to her desk where she keeps several books stacked in order.
