"Who is he?" Yano asked seriously.
He was so intrigued because the young man in the painting, from his brow and eyes to his general demeanor, bore a striking resemblance to the father in his memories.
Nili leaned over to take a look, an "as expected" expression crossing her face.
"Well now, descendant, you've got a sharp eye."
"Hovan Belmont. He was once the most harebrained fellow in Stone Castle. He was also the first to suggest venturing out to find a cure for the Petrification Disease. He actually managed to rally a group of the Stone Race to leave with him, and... they never came back."
"If I'm not mistaken, that fellow is probably your grandfather."
Yano grew nervous.
'Ahem, truth be told, by the time he was old enough to form memories, that grandfather of his had already become a statue.'
'This was why he had no memory of his grandfather at all, let alone any knowledge of his past deeds.'
