GAHRYE
He led Reece directly for the royal cave. It wasn't his son's first visit, but Reece's trips had been few and far between, and during those years things had always been... hidden.
He'd had a chance to meet Elia and her kids, plus a handful of the Protectors. But they couldn't go to the Tree City, or mingle in the market. So he'd never really had the Anima experience. Gahrye grieved the loss of that, now. How was it possible that twenty years had already passed and his son would be making his own way, and Gahrye had never quite prepared him for this?
He wanted it all back. All of it. All the days, all the hours, all the moments. All the decisions. He wanted to live it again and do it better this time.
