Rael was momentarily frozen by her serene voice but soon got back on track and shook his head.
"It's nothing. Don't worry about it. I'm kind of glad there's someone who made this place livelier," Rael replied with a chuckle. "You're Gaia, aren't you?"
The woman's smile widened. "I go by many names, but yes, Gaia is one of them."
She glanced over at the sky and let out a sigh. "I guess if I'm inside your Mind Realm, I'm dead, aren't I?"
"...I'm not sure," Rael said. "Someone gave me your blood. I don't know whether they took it by force or after killing you."
Gaia's expression didn't change in the slightest. She began slowly making her way toward him, and when she arrived, he realized she was only a single forehead shorter than him. It was surprising because he was easily over two meters tall by now.
