"That's right, I'm Matthew. Being late doesn't tend to be my style, but it looks like I was a little late this time."
Ray, who couldn't believe his eyes, quickly stood up. "You really came back; didn't they kill you? I survived by miracle that day; a bunch of powerful people showed up out of nowhere and almost killed me. I thought you were dead." As he said this, he remembered Alice. "What about Miss? Is she okay?" he asked.
Matt nodded. "That's right, Alice is just fine. She was recently named Student Leader of the Academy, and we are now engaged." He replied, bringing a twinkle to Ray's dull eyes.
No one knew when they had last seen each other like this. "Congratulations, Matt! You must make her happy!" he replied sincerely, and Matt nodded.
"That's right; she'll be happy. Why don't we find a place to talk?" Matt asked, and Ray quickly nodded, leading him to a nearby square where not many people walked at night.
