Elderidge has become the greatest threat in Lann's heart.
The darkness lurking within his body, though temporarily subdued by the rekindling flame, oppressed and eroded him during those sunless times, entwining around Lann's mind and body.
"Don't worry! Kirk and I will help you, anytime you call!"
The guy next to him, wearing a comical yellow high hat, spoke very familiarly.
Just after introductions, Lann learned that her name was Hazel, and she was skilled in magic.
Lann was somewhat surprised, or rather unaccustomed to... meeting someone so naturally familiar for the first time in this world.
Or to put it another way, meeting someone so innocent for the first time.
After just stating his identity, this girl, who had been listening to Kirk's stories, treated him as a companion.
Enthusiastically pulling him into conversation.
