"What are you doing out here in the rain all by yourself."
The Astral Express and the Stellaron Hunters had joined together once again to prevent another Stellaron disaster from happening. The rest of the crew went to celebrate their victory, while Dan Heng went to look for Blade. He finally found him outside of the palace gates staring off into the gloomy skies while the rain kept poring with each passing second.
"Thinking."
"Thinking about what?", asked Dan Heng although he already knew the answer to that question.
"You, me, our past, our future and our...inevitable doom. You know, I do sometimes wish things had turned out differently for us, but...it is what it is I suppose, we can only move on forward from here."
Dan Heng takes a pause before coming to stand next to Blade. "Whatever trials we may face in the future, we will face them together." Dan Heng offers him his umbrella. "Now please get out of the rain before you turn into a sopping wet dog."
Dan Heng thinks he sees a hint of a smile on Blade's face but it's gone in an instant. He then takes his place next to Dan Heng under the red umbrella before they proceed to go back inside.
