"Yeah. If something really troubling happens, will he remember… maybe?"
"...No chance."
"...No way."
They gave up on having expectations.
"I wonder if Qiong Xing will come back."
There he went again, saying something stupid.
"I can hear you."
"I know."
"...…."
Solinus understood that Lunios felt lonely, but even if Qiong Xing came back, what would he do?
"I want him to pat my head again…"
"...…."
That, at least, he understood.
When he gently and softly patted their heads, it gave a strange sense of relief, like being praised or accepted.
"Right? I loved the old Qiong Xing too, but if the current Qiong Xing smiled and patted people's heads, wouldn't everyone fall for him?"
"We really put a lot of thought into it."
Up until the very last moment, the two of them had gone back and forth, arguing and discussing, as they designed Qiong Xing's new body.
They tried not to ruin Qiong Xing's original gentle face, but they could not accept leaving it plain and average either.
