"We rely on a variety of methods to peer into the past; nonetheless, it leaves us with too much uncertainty. However, regarding the manifold alien flora species, we have access to them in the present. If you would allow us to take a closer look at it, then we could learn even more about it."

She had likely made the same request to his father, but he had likely to refused her.
Rui shook his head.
