[The land of Cephiro was beautiful and full of life, just like back in the old days. Not a single sign of the tragedies that occurred just a few years ago was in sight, just as if the threat to the very existence of Cephiro and her people was just a bad dream, one they have all long awoken from.

But Lantis knew very well that the reason it could be like that, beautiful and peaceful was thanks to everyone’s efforts. He played his part, Clef played his part, Eagle played his part and the Magic Knights played their parts. They saved Cephiro, together.

The Magic Knights were visiting Cephiro. Talking to the Magic Knight of Fire about mundane things is something he’s always welcomed, Hikaru’s cheerful, outgoing attitude contrasting with his own quiet demeanor. It was nice to spend time together like this, just being comfortable with each other.

And yet, even though it’s as it has always been, Lantis cannot help but notice how she changed since the last time they have seen each other. Hikaru, the girl who saved Cephiro was a young woman now, both in appearance and behavior. As for what it means for their friendship... He will have to figure it out.]

Certainly. It has been a long time since we last had a meeting like this... [He pauses for a moment] At least the circumstances of the reunion are slightly better this time.
