Us

Laina returned to the present.

Dante was standing before her. His expression seemed conflicted. He did not know what to say to her. His mind had a thousand different thoughts. There was so much he wanted to say. So much he wanted to tell her. Yet there was so much he could not say.

In the end, it was Laina who spoke first.

"That was us?" she asked.

Dante nodded in response.

"Everything you've shown me was real? It has all happened in the past?"

"Yes."

Laina was in disbelief. How was any of this even possible? After all, she did not recall any of it happening. But deep down in her heart, there was a feeling of familiarity. She had the same feeling whenever she saw Dante, Margaret, or Titan. The fragmented memories she had once witnessed were all possibly true. 

"You've kept this from me for so long... You can't even tell me that we knew one another? That we were together?" she asked in shock.
