Alm and Bruno withdrew their souls from the demon, their minds dazed and empty. It took a while for Bruno to sigh, trying to alleviate the pain filling his chest, and then he muttered:
'Ruri... now I understand. Almin and many other things were manipulated by the Heaven's Will. But regarding Ruri, we didn't have clear evidence of her involvement. Now we know it was she herself who manipulated things for us to meet... the cost of this is unimaginable.'
Alm remained silent for a few seconds; he felt Ruri's heartbeat, soul, mind, and life slowly returning to her body. From Ruri's past words, after she glimpsed the future, the Heaven's Will still communicated with her and commented on their existence.
