Even though the little girl was barely over seven, Xander could see Leena's reflection in her laughter and the way she spoke to her mother. He realized this memory was from the time when Leena had just moved to Faros with her family.
Seeing Leena's childhood before his eyes made Xander sentimental about his own. He remembered spending his summer evenings with his parents at the farm, playing with his pet dogs and chasing wild geese.
Xander teared up a bit as he approached the swing. He called out to the little girl on the swing, half-expecting a reply, but she did not even seem to hear his voice. Xander even tried to talk to Leena's mother, but his words caused no reaction from her.
After a few more attempts, Xander realized that these two were merely illusions that existed as a part of this memory.
Before Xander could utter another word, the mother and daughter disappeared from view. Xander turned around and scanned the playground once again.
