Russell's POV
Hearing his remorse made me stunned and amazed at his change of heart. "Wow…" my mind commented in the same expression and response of my face. Because of that, I stood up and said to him, "Aren-san, I understand. It's okay. That's what me and my country wanted to hear from you."
Aren looked at me while being stunned. "What? You do?"
I then nodded. "Yes, as a fellow Otherworlder, my friend."
Because of that, Aren started to tear up of being forgiven by me. "Wow…thanks…thanks…Russell May…"
I then smiled. "Yup! You're welcome, your highness."
And so, we both reconciled, and Aren had changed for the better.
