In the farmhouse, people were standing outside a room, where Kiernan and Aoi were having their private conversation.
"He was alive all this time? Wow!"
Baru exclaimed.
"By the sound of it, he has been a prisoner of Dead World people all this time."
Bella said while softly caressing the hair of her son.
"…I think I should send a message to the government. They should know that he is alive, and that… Dead World is not that 'dead' after all."
Karma said.
Bella nodded, kissed him on the cheek, and as he left, she turned to look at the shy Ellie, who was sitting silently in the chair.
She was hanging her head low, nervously touching her hair, as she didn't know how she should talk to her father.
"Are you happy, Ellie? Your dad is back."
Bella asked with a smile on her face.
"…Mm…"
Ellie nodded shyly.
…
In the room.
"…"
Aoi was hugging Kiernan with tears flowing down her face, and they weren't speaking a word.
Just silence.
