Time flew for those in Polaris Realm. While Vicente was experiencing the end of his first year in Anicane, the end of the second year since his departure was being revered by his people.
Back in Polaris Realm, especially the Fuller family's home, little had changed in the two years since the end of Demien Bloodthorne.
What had changed most was Annie, who was now older and gradually showing herself to be smarter and more active, as a child full of ambition should be. Now eight years old and at the start of her third year at the academy, she was used to her study routine, aware of many new things she hadn't known after her father's departure.
Of all the family, she was the one who coped best with Vicente's absence—the benefits of childhood, everyone said.
