After handing the Abyss Xyrin to Taville, Sandora and I went straight home.
The house was just as it always was... To be honest, after being away for just a day, there couldn't possibly be any changes. A group of naughty kids were still making a ruckus, while a few oversized kids pretended to discipline them, competing to be the loudest. It seemed as if, no matter when, this big house would always be enveloped in a lively atmosphere, with heavy and complicated matters being more than half insulated from the people here.
Upon coming home and seeing the little ones in the living room fighting over the TV, I instantly felt a sense of relief: home is a shelter from the storm. No matter how floods rage outside or mountains crumble, it feels as if everything is far removed once you've returned home.
Just for the sake of these mischievous guys around me and this joyful world, we have to hold back the great catastrophe.
