"Well, well...long time no see, Acala."
Standing above the skies, an ethereal figure manifested beside Cedric. It's a lady wearing a white dress adorned with verdant gems and fig leaves; she's even wearing a fig leaf crown. She has hazel eyes with long brown hair cascading behind her like a waterfall. This was none other than Acala, the spiritual consciousness of Prime Earth.
"You've become unfathomable now." She sighed emotionally. "Oh, and welcome back, by the way."
Acala didn't even notice his return. In her eyes, Cedric has grown almost unrecognizable. He's beyond her comprehension now, so much so that she feared that if she stared at him for too long, she'd burn.
"Aww, I missed you too." Cedric made faces at her. "How have you been? How's work at the tower?"
