"That looks nice, let's check it out, Helena!"

"Eh?!"

"I'm coming with you... Dmitri."

Lev glanced towards Titania before averting his gaze. The memory of that scene by the sick bay was still etched clearly in his mind. No matter how hard he tried to shake his head or maybe bang his head on the wall, he wouldn't be able to forget something so real, something so vivid.
