«So? You wanted to tell us something, Sen'? You called both of us» Ojtaro asks her, intrigued. Symphony is by his side, slowly walking away from him and reaching Sentinekka.
«Exactly, and I'm not going to get around to it. I'm going to say it right now so, please, don't react too badly...» she explains, nodding. Sentineekka is feeling a little bit nervous. She has to tell them thought. They must know about what mission she has to do, even thought she's not going to say the whole truth.
«We're waiting, and we surely won't scream or else!» Ojtaro jokes, giggling. They, he says:«Don't worry, you can tell us».
His smile and Symphony's warm expression make her feel better, so she finally tells them:«I must go to Eden».
Symphony winces, and Ojtaro's eyes becomes widen. «What?» they both ask. They both glare at each other. They hate being similar. «Why?» the best friend asks her, concerned. «Why would you risk your life like that?».
«Judy needs my help» Sentinekka answers, knowing too well that she's not telling them the other reason. She lied in her life, but for simple things only... Not for something like that... Never. And she feels terribly bad. She feels like she made a mistake, a mistake that she can fix... But, oh, if she tells them, they'll never let her go! Lamed is right: who could accept to save the King that everyone thinks created the Darkness? Well, not Ojtaro or Symphony. They are both overprotective, and they'd do anything to save her from dangers.
«What is Judylia doing in the Eye of Eden?» Ojtaro asks her, confused. «Why is she there? It's dangerous».
«I wish I knew, Oj'... I only know that she needs me. I have to go!» Sentinekka exclaims, worried. «I'm sorry if you don't want me to risk, but I can't leave her».
«It's okay, Sen'» Ojtaro concludes, smiling. His smile is different, it's agitated. It tells her that he is still afraid for her. «But you must send us messages every morning. We'll receive them every afternoon, if we calculate the time a Messenger can take to give a letter from the last realm to the Isle or the Valley of Triumph. And don't take too much time to finish your mission».
«When are you starting the journey?» Symphony asks her, sighing.
Sentinekka answers her question:«Not today, not tomorrow. Probably in two or three days. I don't wanna leave you so soon».
Her friends smile, softened. She loves their smiling faces! They are both so adorable!
Symphony hugs her tightly. «Is it okay if we tell the others? So you're going to say bye to them» she asks, putting her right hand on the friend's shoulder.
«It's okay, thank you» she answers, returning Symphony's hug.
Ojtaro just looks at them. Sentinekka knows he's waiting for Symphony to leave them alone, so he can hug her too without her best friend glaring at him. Well, he could hug her with no problems, since now Sym' knows what Sentinekka feels inside.
