"I thought… I thought you'd never come back, Sisi…" Kael muttered. "I really thought that I had lost you."
"Why would you say that? Didn't I promise to return so I can cure Jojo of his blindness?" Sisi chuckled. "You can always trust me, Kael. I am not lying when I say that I'll return, nor do I lie when I say that I'll have to leave…"
Yes, Sisi had to make sure that Kael understood her current situation and that she had to leave eventually. They weren't meant to be together even if they fell in love with each other.
Kael went quiet after that, and then tried to shift the conversation. "How was it in faerie land? Is it to your liking?"
"Of course, it is my birthplace after all, and everyone's so nice to me," Sisi replied. "I also met my grandmother, and she finally gave me water from the Origin Spring, which will cure any kind of illness."
"Sisi, Jojo's illness is—"
"—I know," Sisi cut him short. "It's because of his curse, right?"
Kael nodded reluctantly to confirm it.
