"P-Papa?" Kyle froze when he heard the adorable, child-like voice coming from Aquilla.
{Yes! Papa is Papa!}
Another cheerful response followed, making it painfully obvious that he wasn't imagining things.
He...could actually hear Aquilla's voice right now.
[That's the Will of Steel, host. Your resonance with your armaments is growing stronger, allowing you to uncover their full potential and evolve together.]
Kyle scratched his head. "I understand that...but why is Aquilla calling me her father?"
{Papa doesn't want me..?}
Kyle had to be imagining things, yet he could swear Aquilla's glow dimmed a little.
{But Mama said Papa would love me...}
Kyle immediately grew worried at how sad she sounded, so he hurriedly replied, "No, no, I don't dislike you. I'm just surprised."
He took a slow breath before asking more calmly, "Can you tell me who your mother is?"
A certain thought had already formed in his mind...
{Of course! Mama is Mama!}
[It's your viewer, host. Ethara.]
