*Ato sits near a tree in the shade and has lunch. His gaze stared at the sky... on which the clouds were floating and the sun was shining. A cool wind was blowing. He finished his lunch and went on his way...*
*Ato walked through the busy streets of the city, ignoring the glances of passers-by, which lingered on him for a rather long time. Because of the scars that he took from life...*
*One moment... Ato froze, feeling a familiar aura...*
Ato: *(What the... What's it? It feels very familiar... hmm... it's weird)* ...
*Ato slowly turned his head in the direction of the source of the aura. There he saw... a blonde Traveler... and Paimon? Traveler was also standing still, staring at him... her eyes widened in surprise...*
Ato: ... *he stared at them*
*The Traveler still looked at him, but after realizing what she was doing, she immediately looked away. She whispered something to Paimon, who was also somewhat surprised by his sight.*
*Ato was going to pass by, when he suddenly heard the Traveler's voice...*
Traveler: H-hey, wait..!
*He stopped and turned his head towards her.*
Ato: ...
*The Traveler began to approach him... and Paimon also flew close to her.*
Traveler: Is that... you, Ato?
Ato: Yeah... it's me. It's been a long time, I guess...
*Paimon was surprised, quickly approaching and making a circle around Ato.*
Paimon: Wow! Look at this! You look really different...!
Ato: Uh... Yeah...
*The Traveler was also examining his body, especially at the scars on it...*
Traveler: You... Where have you been all this time, exactly?
Ato: He was captured by Fatui... It just so happened...
*Paimon and the Traveler were both surprised, and their eyes widened.*
Traveler: No way...
Paimon: Yeah, no kidding! The Fatui? Seriously..?
Ato: Yep... I had to tinker with the escape... And hid here for a while.
*The Traveler's face became even more shocked.*
Traveler: And how long were you with them?
Ato: About a month...
*The Traveler's face showed a mixture of surprise and horror, but Paimon was shocked to the point of being speechless.*
Paimon: A MONTH?! Are you serious?!
Ato: Yeah...
*Paimon was so shocked that she still could not utter a sound. The Traveler shook her head.*
Traveler : And did they... hurt you?
Ato: Were moments.
*The Traveler sighed as she looked at his body. She frowned and bit her lip upon seeing the scars.*
Traveler: I... I'm so sorry, Ato.
Ato: Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault...
*The Traveler was somewhat embarrassed, continuing to stare at the scars on his body...*
Traveler: I guess you're right, but...
*Paimon finally calmed down and spoke.*
Paimon: It's just... you look so different now. Those scars look pretty nasty.
Ato: Well, yeah... But now it's all over.
*Paimon looked at the scars with a slightly disgusted face, and the Traveler's face became even more guilty...*
Traveler: Does it... hurt?
Ato: Not at the moment.
*The Traveler's face became calmer as she exhaled in relief.*
Traveler: Thank God...
*Paimon and Traveler both looked at each other.*
Traveler: Um... May I ask you something?
Ato: Yeah?
*Traveler and Paimon exchanged glances again, and Paimon nodded to her. The Traveler nodded back, and then turned to Ato again.*
Traveler: Can you... follow us for a bit. I want to show you something.
Ato: Okay...
*The Traveler smiled slightly and began to move through the crowd. Paimon and Ato followed her. Soon, they walked up some stairs, and then appeared in front of... a tavern...*
