The door stood open. Nobody moved. A figure was standing on the other side.
For a moment, Rin couldn't see his face. The room beyond the doorway was almost completely dark, and only a faint light from the symbols on the walls illuminated the figure's outline.
He was tall. Much taller than Kaan. Much taller than the other Divine Knights. He stood completely still, as if he had been waiting there for years.
Kaan stared at him. His lips parted.
"No…"
Lucien immediately stepped in front of him.
"Who are you?"
The figure didn't answer. Instead, he slowly raised his head.
Rin's breath caught. There was something strangely familiar about his eyes. Not because Rin remembered him.
Because the moment he looked at him, something inside his chest reacted. A strange ache. A sense of recognition without a memory attached to it.
The System appeared.
