"Hathaway, where is your homeland?"
In the brilliant Starsea, Leo held Hathaway's hand as if they were strolling through their own backyard.
Around them, the starlight spirits, those with faint awareness, instinctively avoided Leo's terrifying aura that naturally emanated from his body.
Upon hearing Leo's question, Hathaway's eyes flickered with hesitation.
"Leo, why do you ask?"
She responded softly, a subtle trace of caution in her tone.
Leo smiled gently, his gaze sincere.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to see the place where you lived and grew up. I want to understand all about you, including your past."
At his current rank, Leo could easily deduce Hathaway's origins.
But out of respect for her, he refrained from doing so.
Upon hearing this, Hathaway lowered her head, her voice becoming softer.
"... Can I tell you later, when the time is right?"
Seeing the melancholy and slight unease in her expression, Leo understood.
