It's dusk and the sun is slowly setting.

A man with dark circles waves from the restaurant.

"Hey, Stardus. Over here."

"...Kim Ja-hyun."

Kim Ja-hyun, Shadow Walker.

A plainclothes woman with blonde hair walked into the room he was in.

Her name was Shin Haru and her hero name was Stardus.

Early at night, the two heroes met for the first time in a long time at a bar.

"Where's Seola?"

"Oh. She couldn't make it."

"...Well, okay."

Shin Haru replied casually, taking a seat, and Shadow Walker shook his head, but accepted.

Today's meeting was organized by Stardus.

Shadow Walker had only come at Stardus' request to catch up with him.

"But really, it's been a while."

"I know."

Shin Haru nodded at Shadow Walker's words.

They were both heroes, but their paths had crossed quite rarely.

For one thing, Shadow Walker is invulnerable at night, so he's only active after dark, while Stardus is almost exclusively active during the day and rests at night.

Shadow Walker, in particular, sleeps during the day, so their encounters were even less frequent.

"Anyway, I heard you're getting married, so congratulations."

Shadow Walker was grateful for Stardus' simple congratulations.

His face was tired, with dark circles, but a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"Let's get you something to eat."

And with that, they ordered food.

Shadow Walker, Kim Ja-hyun, glanced at Stardus' face.

'...You look fine, don't you?'

His attention was on Stardus' condition.

He had been secretly worried that Stardus' condition seemed to be unstable when he heard the news and people from the Association lately, but she looked better than he thought.

'...But why did you ask to meet after so long?'

Was there something troubling her?

Shadow Walker thought to himself quietly.

He had agreed to meet with her today for one reason.

He'd heard that Stardus had been going through a lot lately, and he wanted to talk to her about whatever was bothering her, to help her heal.

Perhaps that's why she called him.

...Actually, his guess was spot on.

It's just that the problem is relationship counseling...

Yeah. Stardus was thinking to herself.

If he's getting married, he might be able to give her some advice from a man's perspective.

How to, um, get back together with Egostic...

Anyway, after such a long time, they caught up.

"So, it's been a bit of a rough time overseas lately..."
