Akira: thoughts Seems what God said was true... my connection to Moon Breathing has truly faded. No matter how much I try, I can’t feel that flow anymore.

Hestia: Tell me, Aki?

Akira: Hm?

Hestia: Do you still think about them?

Akira: Think about who?

Hestia: Your family?

Akira paused, eyes softening as memories quietly stirred in his heart.

Akira: I do... to be honest, I think about them more often than I admit.

Hestia: I see. If you had the chance... would you go back to them?

Akira: Even if it were possible, I doubt I could. My original body... it was likely cremated long ago. But... if by some miracle I could return...

He glanced down, a faint smile forming as he whispered under his breath, just low enough that he thought she wouldn’t catch it.

Akira: whispers I'd take you with me.

But what Akira didn’t realize... was that Hestia had heard every word. She chose to say nothing, only smiling gently as if she hadn’t.

Hestia: Hmm? Did you say something?

Akira: Huh? Oh... it was nothing.

Hestia: Okay then.

She carefully unrolled a piece of parchment, summoning Akira’s current status, her small hands glowing briefly with divine light. Once done, she hopped off his lap with a little bounce.

Hestia: Oh yeah—did you get a chance to try out that Sun Breathing technique you mentioned?

Akira: I did. But... the blade I used couldn’t handle the strain. The technique's power was too much, and it shattered. I ended up switching back to my Nichirin blade.

Hestia: Hmm... have you spoken with Hephaestus about it?

Akira: I tried. But she wasn’t in today.

Hestia: Ahh, that makes sense. She’s been swamped lately. What about your other skills?

Akira: I’ve already mastered most of them. They came naturally, I guess.

He smiled gently, a calm confidence behind his eyes, much like a fading ember—quiet, but warm.

Hestia: chuckles That’s quite impressive. You really don’t waste time, huh?

Then a thought popped into her head, and her expression shifted slightly.

Hestia: Hey, um... Aki?

Akira: Yeah?

Hestia: Is there... a girl you're interested in? You know, romantically?
