The next day. Inside Sansara World 2.0.
Maya's deserted courtyard once again received its master.
Eren had hurried to this location right after he had assimilated Birmond's devoured knowledge. He had entrusted Sansara Sage's space-element rune to Maya, instructing her to keep it on her at all times. This rune could function as a reliable escape strategy as she navigated the perilous landscapes of Anfang.
This was the very reason why Eren had labored over deciphering the space-element rune for nearly a decade – to provide Maya with freedom and security. Yet, he harbored an additional, more discreet motive behind giving her this rune. Through its influence, he could establish contact with her regardless of her whereabouts in the vast expanse of Anfang. He had used the space-element rune's reverse function to call her back.
