Shaking his head just as he had done in the past, Coeus once again refused his wife's request. Phoebe, standing by his side, finally seemed to be losing her patience.
"So this is what you want, to stay here forever, praying that no ancient deity notices you and to live an eternal life as if you were dead?"
Her voice was sharp. Phoebe could not understand why her husband, with such favorable conditions and a power second only to the Great Divine Power, had no other ambitions and only wished to stay in the cold and silent cosmos.
Even Oceanus knew to try and unify the sea, yet an aeon had passed, and Coeus had done nothing.
"No matter what you say, Phoebe, I will stay here. The world as it is now offers us no chance..."
"If you don't want to stay, then leave on your own, I've never stopped you. That's that, I'm going back."
Calmly, Coeus looked at the expanse of stars one last time. He didn't say much else, only turning and walking away.
"You!"
