"What happened?"
"I think you tried to remember something you shouldn't have," Ana said, causing Alex to nod or at least try to, considering he couldn't even move his neck.
"How long have I been like this?"
"Roughly a month."
Silence followed before Alex spoke up. "I see."
Then, he asked. "Where are we?"
"Cinerath. We've been floating in subspace ever since Khanna imbibed the drop of water from the Fountain and fell into a deep slumber."
"You really shouldn't be saying her name so casually."
"It's not like she can hear us."
"Still…"
"I don't want to hear it, Ulysses, so give it a rest."
Letting out a sigh, Alex remarked. "So then, how do we get back?"
"The Goddess gave us a way out. A ship that can survive subspace long enough for us to get back to Eventide. Unfortunately, once it enters Eventide, it can't return to subspace so we had to wait for you to recover before leaving."
