"Ash, your Void Wings," she retracted her wings, her expression serene, voice light: "very warm."
Indeed.
It's not just from the very first glance that Ash recognized her as Filly; even more important is, no one understands better than him what sharing Void Wings signifies, it's a realm that requires countless life-and-death experiences to reach... even Vishi and the others have just crossed the threshold recently!
"But even so..." Ash's face was complex: "How can you establish a bond with me?"
The fact that the bond could remain was already beyond Ash's expectations; he thought that when Aurora's Mage Manual disappeared along with the End Group, the Bonds System should collapse as well. But after researching for a few days, not only did the bonds not disappear, but they could even continue to grow, just lacking a data interface to view them.
