"Say, Arthur... we're not living our first lives, are we?"
That single question made Arthur remember Berlal's description of what had happened with Elaine when he died at Luka's hands.
'A tear in reality leading into the void layer beneath it...
Celestia said she tried to call the rest of her existence into the Cosmos, but it seems she partially succeeded. So that's why her soul got so much stronger.
The Elaine before me is a soul fragment, but more fragments must have been drawn in and fused with her soul, giving it more mass, and with those extra fragments... memories of the Previous Era, which she now sees in her dreams.'
Arthur reached that conclusion and sat up, pushing Elaine back lightly so she was now sitting on his lap before speaking.
"Whatever it is you're seeing in those dreams, I want you to know that it doesn't matter right now."
"...hahhhh?!"
Elaine's eyes went wide in shock because she had never expected Arthur to suddenly say that.
