Killing Him Would Be A Shame

— ~8 Hours Later —

While in the middle of stupidly spamming Teleport and Void Port, Cassius's vision suddenly darkened. An instant later, he found himself back in the Ice Palace on Neptune. Everything was the same as when he left it.

Cassius blinked before looking at Yimin, Raijin, and his two Growth Weapons. "It's about time we return home," he said. "The others have been worried about you, you know, Yimin?"

Yimin cutely tilted her head, index finger to her chin. "Yimin?" she asked. "Why would they be worried about Yimin?"

Cassius faintly smiled in her direction as his steps echoed throughout the empty Palace halls. "It's because you're family," he said once they had left through the Palace doors. "Even though you aren't on the best of terms with them, they still recognize you as family."

"Family…"

Yimin knew not what that word really meant. She had no parents, no siblings, and was born alone.
