Strange Sights

Honestly, I felt a little strange hearing Galileo thank me so sincerely. It made me remember a bit of why I set out on this journey in the first place.

Not to gain appreciation, but so that people didn't have to suffer as much as they did.

Though that vision had gotten a little blurry, a tiny bit of it always stuck with me. But in the end, it didn't change the fact that I needed to become stronger.

I remember that girl.

She was just an unassuming little girl, but she was very strong. At the time, although I hadn't significantly improved my body through external means, it had become quite tough due to the damage and healing from the constant spellcasting.

I'm sure that while I am stronger now, it wasn't to that huge of an extent. However, I only realized that the little girl moved by the time she slowly removed my heart from my chest.

She was simply too fast.

Simply too vicious.

And too powerful.
