After some time — and with help from Tisdale and the Soul Armature Practitioner — Baiyi was back in his old Santus suit of armor. In the time he was away, Aya had taken care of the suit of armor. She cleaned and polished it every day, and sometimes, she would even curl up beside it and sleep. This was why Baiyi could perceive a faint aroma of a woman's body from his suit of armor.
When Baiyi returned to the living room, the others were engaged in a debate about time-travel paradoxes. For example, the 'if I killed your mother before you were born' thought experiment. However, instead of having of well-informed debate, everyone seemed to be yelling, "Yo mama died! I killed yo mama!"
