[Because of you.] This time, it was an aged and wilting voice who spoke. [I returned because of you.]

Huh? Rise could understand the words, but he could not comprehend them. What did it mean that because of him he returned? 

Seriously, he did not even know how he returned himself, so how could he help others return as well? With a skeptical look, he questioned, "What do you mean because of me?" 

Gradually, he seemed to think of an idea. Did his return trigger something—more than the change and the butterfly effect he might cause, it also created this kind of anomaly? 

[I don't know.] 

The voice seemed to have an amnesia relapse with its 'I don't know'. Rise's brow instantly furrowed. He had this type of urgency, as he knew this flesh would not be able to communicate for long. 

Just as he was about to say more, the aged voice suddenly blurted out as though remembered it at the last moment. 

[You can ask the person with you.]
