Once again, we agreed to meet at the Grand Tower in the heart of Serpentara. As I approach the entrance, I spot Mirayuki already waiting for me, with Alice standing by her side.
Right… Alice must know about the other Jack too. Mirayuki met him a few days ago. For them to communicate so efficiently, she would have needed the 8th Ocular's help.
The moment Mirayuki sees me, she rushes forward and throws her arms around me, holding me tight. My heart swells as I embrace her in return
"I'm sorry, Mira…" I murmur. "And thank you… for everything"
I pull her closer. Her body is so small, so frail compared to mine, but for some reason, holding her feels as if she's the anchor keeping me from drifting away.
