Not A Farewell But A Promise To Meet Again

'A book… Huh?'

Hearing Ho's shaking words, I couldn't help but be fascinated by the concept that he described. Something like this could actually happen?

Not only was he my family and my everything but another version of him surprisingly lived in another world and read about me before becoming one with himself, and for what?

To save me! Ho… no, should I call him Leo? It was hard to pronounce but that didn't matter. What truly mattered was that Leo had traveled between worlds just for my sake!

Indeed, our natural place to be is by each other's side… Though that might not be possible for some time soon.

But…

"In case you don't want someone like me around you any longer, just say so and I will take my leave right this moment…"

"Ho… Leo… Just what are you saying?!"

Just what did he mean by these words?

"I know the truth isn't easy to hear, but it's how things are. My time here is limited, but if you want me to leave-"

"Stop!!!"
