After the quiet moment at the top of the Enclave's main spire, Alex and Zora returned to Alex's residence in the Enclave to change clothes in preparation for Alex's meeting at the Golden Palace.
When they arrived, they found the door to the residence unlocked, and it seemed someone was already inside.
Cautiously, the couple entered the residence and found a familiar red-haired figure seemingly studying from multiple textbook tomes in the residence's study.
"Asta?" Alex called out.
Asta's body froze as she looked up at the familiar yet strange face before her.
"Alex?" Asta called out, seemingly unsure.
This was the first time Asta had seen Alex since he first left the Enclave for the Fury Lands—more than two and a half years ago.
