On the same day, Helek's preparations for returning are completed.
More than half of the army has already departed, leaving only a handful of skinwalkers who remain with Helek to accompany him back.
"Helek, I am so happy," Keroli says, sitting in Helek's lap with a joyous smile, as Ryver is out to bring Leon back.
"I'm happy too. And you'll come with me to Planet 00, won't you?" Helek's words bring a smile to Keroli's lips, as though he is silently conveying much more than just an answer.
"Of course, I'll come. You won't get rid of me that easily," Keroli says, hugging Helek tighter.
"I have no one here anyway, so you can never leave me," Keroli adds, resting his head on Helek's chest. Helek gently strokes his head in response.
"I will never leave you and will love you all my life."
The words may have seemed ordinary, but their meaning and purpose carried immense significance.
