"We thought that you would only come a few days later. My apologies for leaving you behind," Meryl said when she saw Billy the next day.

"That didn't bother me," Billy said. "Anyway, are you going to keep helping your people get stronger? Is that really the only thing you think you should do now?"

While I am fast, I can still fall for traps if they activate instantly. That amulet that the leader of the Galatea followers gave you also would be nice… Just to be sure I fail to dodge any attack."

"If it is just a loan, I don't mind, but…" Billy said. "This was a gift from a friend, if you lose or destroy it…"

"I will take care of it," Icarus said.
