"H-Harold!!" William gasped. "It's you!!"
The two old men darted to each other, embracing the other with an arm. Tears immediately lined up in their eyes, absorbing the fact that the other was really alive and well.
They parted after a few moments. William patted Harold's shoulder, though his attention was taken by a little girl holding the other's hand.
It was an adorable little girl who was looking at him in curiosity.
"Is this little Maya?" he blinked. In retrospect, it had been a few years since he had stayed in the House in Aberdeen City. The child's height seemed to have shot up to twice as it was.
"Yes!" Harold smiled and then looked behind him. "Say, hello, daughter. Ah, Gina is as pretty as always."
Gina rubbed her cheek in embarrassment. To be honest, the green soap still had some marks on them so their faces had some reddish spots. Nothing major, but not pretty either. It definitely made her self-conscious in front of people she knew from the 'good days'.
