It was as if a flicker of light was ignited inside of Charlotte's eyes as she watched Van continue to talk to hi seen by hihts quickly centered theh Huh Huhter?" Lorei, who still has not touched the food given to her by Charlotte, finally had an excuse to join in on the conversation

"The man he saw? When? When did this happen!?" Charlotte quickly shi+fted her attention to Lorei

"More than a week ago," Lorei said as she approached the two, "I escorted High Huh the River, he saw an oldthere but he suddenly disappeared and then the gate went all crazy"

"Wait, are you sure?" Charlotte then once again turned her attention back to Van, "Are you sure it was my son?"

However, Van was still lost in his oorld, his thoughts see else

"Evans!"

Finally, after a few ht sto the tavern and its close neighbor establishments to feel a quake on the Branch

But still, Van did not answer He just raised a finger towards Charlotte, as if telling her to wait And a few seconds after that, he nodded his head and walked closer towards Charlotte, "Yes It's your son, I fully re our stay in Africa, but I am sure it was him He looks a lot like you"

"My son s felt like they suddenly beca her to fall butt first on the floor, "It's been it's been so long"

"Wait, I am confused"

But before Charlotte's tears could echo throughout her dilapidated tavern, Lorei's voice interrupted her cries

"You have a son?" Lorei blinks her eyes a couple of tireat coincidence, isn't it?"

Hearing Lorei's words, Van and Charlotte also could not help but feel slightly confused, "What do you htly felt aard as Van and Charlotte focused their attention on her, "The Vanir, including High Humans, can't have children That would h Huood coincidence, no?"

"Oh, so that's what youher head, "We're not High Huiant We're from another world entirely, I am sure the boy here has already told you the sah of his own, "I have told her countless tih Hu their words, Lorei could not help but chuckle, "Surely, you jest I didn't know High Humans are capable of such unified humor"

"She's a lost cause"

Charlotte whispered

"I know," Van shook his head as he looked up at Lorei, looking at her as if she was so Lorei feel stupid, Van looked Charlotte straight in the eyes as his tone became serious, "You said you've been here for more than a thousand years, is it really possible that you haven't seen anyone you know of? Maybe you've just forgotten? Maybe it's even possible that you've seen your son?"

"Even if my memory becoet themy son here," Charlotte quickly said as she crossed her arms, "I am sure I would remember it I am sure"

Her words by the end, however, soile And soon, her face slowly once again turned younger as she looked towards Lorei

"Sorry, Evans It seems I have a customer, I will be back in a while," she then said

"" Van could not help but close his eyes in sorrow as he heard Charlotte's repeating words, "Miss Charlotte She's not a custoht"

Van had no idea how many times he had to repeat the same conversations with Charlotte before her mind finally found it fit to store some memories If only Hans was around, then eline

Or maybe it's different? Maybe Charlotte isn't justaway

But whatever the case was, Van did not really s for Charlotte She was the first person he ive up on her, no matter what happens

Early in theaway fro Lorei told hiain, he just decided to use this time to relax, and also to try and see if there was anyone else he knew on the Branch

But no oes froht of different races With hi wings of light as he did so, the inhabitants of the Branch were all starting to create several rumors, and for some reason, most of them mentioned the end of the world

Van noticed that death was looked at differently in this place Instead of sorrow, regret, and sadness; they worshi+p death They strive to have the best death possible
