'I can hear them laughing, joking...' The sound of Maria and Sena echoed through the apartment. Their delighted laughs sounded like bells jingling a comfortable wake-up call for Julian, who stirred in the bed.
"Ngh..."
Stabbing pains spread through his body, making him feel delicate, rolling over. He looked over at the clock and noticed it was almost 9 pm.
"I seem to have survived, haha."
His head throbbed with pain as images and memories of what had happened flashed through his mind, images of Sena in the past, Maria in the dungeon, Fran... Sena in the mall and various other scenes from his three lives... 'eh? Who was that?' A slight fragment appeared in a ruined landscape with soft golden hair and blue eyes.
Julian covered his eyes, the light causing a dull ache, but he couldn't grasp the memory that began to fade like a fleeting dream. All he could remember was a broad back with blond hair... and blue eyes.
"Haa..." With a long sigh, he dragged himself off the bed.
