[Long time no see, Venus.]
Within the projected screen, Venus appeared dazed, the phrase echoing endlessly in her mind, as Lance's reflection flickered in her crimson eyes.
It took her quite a while to respond. She covered her eyes with her hand, reminiscing about the Lance from a thousand years ago.
The smile with which he greeted her, a familiar sight she had seen before.
A millennium ago… Lance basking in the afternoon sun on a rocking chair... Whenever he saw her crouching in a dark corner... He would smile and wave her over, inviting her to join him in the sunlight...
She liked Lance's smile.
Clean, pure... it gave her a sense of peace...
After a gap of a thousand years, she saw such a smile once again.
The memories that had died began to assault her again.
From Amelia's mouth... the mysterious and powerful comrade... was Lance after a thousand years...
This was unexpected to her.
