The bright and cozy living room was enveloped in a gentle glow, and at this moment, Charles was quietly leaning on the leather sofa, while the other crew members of the Unicorne stood at the doorway, as if time had frozen.
Suddenly seeing the missing Captain appear before them, the crew members were momentarily at a loss, but not everyone had the patience to process it calmly.
"Ahhh!! Mr. Charles!" Lily shouted excitedly, throwing her arms around Charles and bouncing with joy.
With Lily's boisterous welcome, Charles was forced to open his eyes. He looked at the girl in front of him, a trace of confusion in his eyes. After pondering for a while, he slowly began to speak, "Lily... Lily?"
"It's me! It's me!" Lily joyfully clung to him, rubbing her little head against Charles' neck. Years of habits from the Rat had not changed overnight.
Charles looked blankly at the crew members approaching him, "How did you... how did you find this place?"
