He's alive.

Hecathe's eyes narrowed down on the screen that directly opened the messaging tab that had been last opened when he had gotten into that car accident. 

Hecathe read the last message that had been sent to him and he tried to type in something as he wondered. 

Would Alphius reply? 

In the end, he did not know what to write, and hence, he simply stared at the screen blankly till he heard a notification. 

A new message had arrived. 

[Thank You, Hecathe] 

Alphius... Was alive... 

Hecathe didn't know if he wanted to laugh or cry but he did indeed sigh in relief as his lips unconsciously curled up with an honest smile. 

In the end, it was fortunate that the two of them were alive and it was also assuring for Hecathe to know that everything that had happened had not been just a mere dream. 

"Why are you smiling to yourself?" Azazel asked with a frown as he looked at Hecathe with suspicion.
