Hill sat in the more secluded domed hut on Purwell's back and waved gently to Aesces.
The Little Whale jumped into the random portal ahead with a flick of its tail amidst the farewell sound from the little black sphere... Aesces was worried that if he used it in the Stellar Realm, he might accidentally get caught by Eosca trying to escape, so he directly gave Hill the permission in his domain.
Although he encountered many distressing things in this world, Hill was still very content.
Meeting someone he was willing to make friends with was a treasure, even if it was just one.
Moreover, it was rare to find a friend with whom he could communicate at any time, which made Hill even happier.
Now he understood why many of the long-lived would try to avoid deeper interactions with ordinary people.
Because their lives were indifferent to time, whereas mortals had to cherish every minute.
Sometimes, Hill would think of friends from the past, like Boen.
