Reminisced League of Nine, part 16 (after battle)
An overlong silence shrouded the passage of time.
All my time during it was a mere adjunct.
In the square wholly painted white, only two visitors came to see me.
To supplement... One visited in the square within the square, and the other visited in the square within the square within the square.
You're free to do your research here.
The mirror you seemed to love so dearly.
Don't forget to eat your meals and supplements every day.
There was no one left to gaze at the mirror and enjoy its sight, and it ceased to be a tool of amusement...
Yet I still held on to it, for a reason...
You wouldn't talk to even Gubo these days. You've been grasping at the mirror all day long.
He just stared at your back before leaving. The expression on his face wasn't so good.
It concerns me not. I would much rather face you and talk to you.
When I turn away, I would like you to do the same.
Yi Sang, Gubo genuinely cares about you. You know that, right?
I'm pretty sure you're the biggest reason he decided to join the League before it fell apart.
That is untrue. The one Gubo cares for the most... would be himself.
He simply happened to chance upon me while looking for things to make him stand out.
Then... let him do that. You can be under the limelight as long as you're standing next to him.
Right now, N Corp's director has been trying to form a new League of Nine with you, Gubo, and Aseah.
I cannot bring myself to call that organization the League when its roots are entirely different. It has simply borrowed the name that will have to be returned one day.
...How go the affairs in the world outside? With your wings, you can be anywhere you'd like.
The outside... Haah. It's the same, tiring stuff. The world always flows along the same current.
Isn't that the truth? The League used to be bound with such strong solidarity, but now it has disbanded...
There's no point in feeling joy or despair over every passing moment.
So I want you to stay here with me. Be someone I can talk with.
