It's a heavy burden, knowing that death is inevitable and that it's something we all face eventually. Ryuta stands before the fountain, as he did on his first visit here, and suddenly feels a wave of déjà vu wash over him. He's been here before, yet the details escape him.
As he turns away from the fountain, he ventures further into the heart of the city. With each step, memories surface, reminding him of the path he once walked. Then, he spots someone he recognizes, and a flicker of realization dawns on him—he has indeed met this person before.
Determined to find the two individuals he first encountered, he heads toward the corner where they sat together. To his disappointment, they aren't there. Collecting his thoughts, he recalls where their first meeting took place. When he arrives at the location, he sees them approaching a man who is engulfed in flames and has turned to ashes.
"Hey!" he calls out to them, and they pause, looking at him with puzzled expressions, as if wondering how he knows their names.
Alexia and Roy walk over to Ryuta, their curiosity piqued. "How do you know us?" Alexia asks.
"I'm not sure," Ryuta replies nervously. "You don't know me, and we've never actually met. But it feels like fate brought us together. I had intended to speak to that man too, but then I realized he doesn't have anything to do with me, just like you."
"Alright, if that's how you see it, let's go, Roy," Alexia responds.
With that, Alexia and Roy resume their exploration, hoping to find someone who shares their experience.
