Mark's Unusual Return, The Beginning of the Final Stretch of the Battle Against the Night Goddess

Day 368 - 6:22 PM - Mountain Back, Balong, Pucakwangi, Pati Regency, Central Java, Indonesia

"Gege?"

That single familiar word from Mei caused everyone quite a stir.

The woman before them, who resembled the Night Goddess in her humanoid form, was Mark, according to Mei.

While the Indonesian survivors might be a bit more baffled, the members of Evernight would not doubt Mei in the slightest. Among them, Mei would not mistake Mark for anything else. Moreover, it was not just Mei. Some members, like the little girls and Chaflar, even noticed it.

The person in front of them might have some unexpected appearance, but she was, without a doubt, Mark.

With a shrug, Mark approached everyone. Of course, it made the Indonesian survivors flinch by reflex. They had yet to believe that it was really Mark.
