White Dragon Labyrinth Exploration Arc.

(POV: Akashic Records)
It was a hard pill for Lumila to swallow, but she mustered up the courage to confess to her younger self.
"I... I miss Elise," she admitted.
Little Lumila looked up at her with wide eyes, there was hope in her gaze.
"So...you regret giving up on our friendship with Elise?" she asked.
The sadness in her voice was enough for even someone as emotionally blunt as Lumila to pick up.
Unless maybe it was because she knew herself better than anyone else.
Lumila sighed, her heart heavy with the weight of their past mistakes.
She knelt down, placing a gentle hand on her younger self's shoulder.
"I don't think there's any taking back what we did back then," she said, her voice filled with regret. "Losing Elise's friendship was something we both suffered."
