(Y/N)'s POV
I woke up to see the sun shining on my face. I sat up and looked around to see I was still at the grave.
'Huh, I must have fallen asleep sometime last night.' I thought as I stood up. I started to walk back to the guild when I ran into Loke. I was about to fall when he grabbed my wrist stabilizing me. He looked up at me as he apologized. I smiled and looked down at his hand that was holding my wrist. I looked back up at him as he lets go of my wrist. He was about to run off when I grabbed his hood.
"You know they are going to find out sooner or later, Loke or should I say Leo the Lion." He looked back at me and sighed.
"I know, But please tell me you won't say anything to them." I laughed at that and let go of his hood.
"It's not my place to tell them. It's up to you." I said with a smile on my face. I looked at him and the smile dropped. "But the longer you're out of the Celestial Spirit World the weaker you get. And I don't appreciate watching my spirits suffer for something they had no control over. I understand that you think it's your fault that Karen is dead but it's not. She was treating you guys like servants and was treating Aries like a pet when you guys are supposed to be treated as friends and equals. I'm not gonna force you back into your world but please know that you'll always have a home there. Your family misses you." I hugged him and turned around. I waved to him without turning around and continued walking back to the guild.
Loke's POV
I watched as (Y/N) walked away. I looked down in thought. I turned around and started to walk while thinking about what she said. I laughed as I realized she was right. I turned around to walk to the guild and talk to her again when my mind felt fuzzy. I knew it was just my imagination but when I looked up I saw Karen standing there with a smile. I looked at her shocked and then smiled. She disappeared and I took off running towards the guild. I'll stay away from Lucy but at least I don't have to worry. I finally get to the guild to see (Y/N) talking to Mira with a smile on her face. I ran towards her and hugged her from behind. She yelped and then relaxed once she realized it was me. Mira looked a bit shocked and then smiled.
"What's this for?" She asked. I let go and sat next to her smiling.
"I realized you were right and I wanted to thank you for what you said." Mira looked between us and her smile grew.
"I'll leave you two alone" She walked away to a table to talk to Levy. I looked back to (Y/N) to see her with her eyes closed while sipping her drink.
"And what exactly was I right about?" She asked as she turned to look at me. My smile grew bigger as she laughed at my expression.
"Everything. I'm not gonna go back but I don't blame myself anymore. I may have made a few mistakes but I couldn't stop her from dying." I looked down and then looked at her to see her smiling at me.
"Everybody makes mistakes but that's what makes us want to step up and overcome that mistake. It's part of being a person." Mira walked over when she saw me wave to her.
"What were you two talking about?" She asked as she walked back behind the counter. I looked at (Y/N) as she turned to Mira.
"Oh, nothing you need to worry about," She said as she calmly sipped her drink.

(Y/N)'s POV
Today Erza is coming back from a job and everyone was on edge. I was super excited to see my best friend after a while. Everyone went silent as they heard armor hitting the ground. I walked to the door and threw it opened as I see Erza standing there with a horn over her shoulder. She saw me and put the horn down. She pulled me into her chest as she smiled. I hugged her back and then pulled away to look at her face. She smiled and let go of me to grab the horn and walk into the guild.
