Time became a blur.
Nothing stood out to him. Without Alice he felt alone, without a purpose. His family tried to help, but to little avail. Time continued as he rotted away in his room, and he spiraled further from sanity.
When he was introduced to A World's Legacy he didn't plan to spend as much time as he did. Only attempting it to not be bothered. Yet when he arrived at the village, when the bright smiling face greeted him again. . . He felt like an old missing piece was finally returned.
Lemon, the bright young girl was nearly a carbon copy of Alice. Such sheer coincidence was almost not believed, but time proved it to be true. With a new life Gear spent all his time trying to help out, as if trying to pay back what he couldn't before.
He felt alive again.
But now she was gone too.

"I. . ."
Gear looked at his broken sword. The memories of Harold teaching him how to care for it surfaced for a moment. But such pleasant things were shattered just like his sword.
