The silence after Ivy's final words stretched for a moment, heavy with everything she had just revealed. The weight of two lost years settled into the room, pressing down on all three of them.
Ivy steadied herself and spoke clearly.
"Two years have passed since that day. We tried everything to bring you back. The Eden Group spent heavily, bringing in the best healers we could find, but nothing worked."
She paused briefly, watching their reactions carefully.
"We even tried contacting Saint Julius Nova… but we never got a response. Not until recently."
Remedy's eyes narrowed slightly, her expression sharpening instead of breaking.
"The Saint replied?"
Ivy nodded.
"Yes. Felicia and Scott went to bring him here. He should arrive soon."
She expected shock, confusion, maybe anger. Instead, what she saw unsettled her more. Remedy simply processed the information, as if the two-year gap was something she had already accepted.
Adam was quieter, but not panicked.
