[Ains point of view]
[Back to the day Lowell reached the Golden House]
No matter how many times I thought of it, winter approached in the Golden World a little by little as they came. And like every winter, spring followed it with its colorful blossoms and at some point, the hot weather of summer killed spring's blossoms; it slowly prepared the world for fall.
And like the day Alden arrived, a few days after he returned back to the Seen World someone other than him knocked on the doors of the Golden House. "Hehehe" her laughter could be heard from outside, behind the vast doors of the Golden House she was.
Not knowing who could it be I walked to the main entrance and waited for whoever was behind its doors to come in.
"Keek"
They pushed the door open. I saw the two, or shall I say four, of them with smiles that I never had observed before on anyone's face. "So~ this is where we'll be staying!" she turned around herself a few times before she threw herself on the glassy delicate floors, "This place is a miracle. Can we stay here forever? I love this place, and I'm finding myself gravitated to it every second coming more than the one that had passed."
A young adult once again; it was a girl this time. Alden brought her with him, "This is Lowell Gold and the girl with her is Lileas, her KEY, Ain. Don't they look familiar to you?" Asier who still was standing beside Alden mutely spoke to me, and I tried reading his lip.

[Lowell's point of view]
I lied on the colorless, see-through floors of the Golden House for the first time, yet it felt familiar. I closed my eyes and tried to imagine life in this place. What kind of people lived here? Who is going to live here with us? And with my eyes closed, my mind took me to a tale narrated by this land. I could hear people speaking with joyful tones I longed for. Laughters, I wanted to join them. And when I opened my eyes on its roof, the ginormous dome above me refracted the joyful spirits carried by this wonderful home at us.
I stood on my feet, they took control over my body and gradually moved me from room to room in a place I barely knew. It stopped me by a cupboard, my hands reached out and opened its drawer as I found a pair of scissors.
Taking them back with me to where I left Alden and in front of him and everybody that was there, I open my hair from the ponytail it was in to pull it hard and in one go cut it short to my shoulders. Sure, it was a mess. A pretty mess.
The long silky hair that once was mine fell on the glassy floors.

[Alden's point of view]
With her bubbly, goofy simpers, she attracted me to her. "That's the Lowell I know," I pulled her face gently towards me with both my hands on her cheeks, "You look stunning with short hair..." My smile unintentionally spread on my face. I had always liked her short hair.
"So until when are we staying like this?" Ain broke my moment with Lowell into awkward pieces I tried to ignore.
"Until one day this house is full again or even beyond that!" [Alden]
"Hahahaa!" we all laughed and the euphoric waves of our laughter filled the Golden House for the first time in years.
I held Lowell tightly as I pulled her even closer to hug her.
Like the history we made together, this time, too, I will protect her for she will always be my only one.
