Where was Mel?
Evan looked at the Guardian Wind Chime. He knew it would surely point him toward Mel!
That Guardian Wind Chime... kept transforming into something crimson.
What was that?
A crimson tear!
It transformed into Mel's image! And this Mel had golden hair!
"Mel, I finally found you!" Evan shouted. "You bastard, you dared to leave me behind and run off on your own! I'm going to beat you senseless to vent my anger!"
Mel smiled, stretched out his arms, and embraced Evan!
"Evan, I never expected you to come all the way into the underworld for me... Why didn't you cherish your own life? What if you died too?"
Evan gently slapped Mel. "Would living alone mean anything if you died? No matter what, I'm going to make you pay properly for what you did. When we get back, I'll make you chop firewood, cook, and wash the dishes!"
Mel burst out laughing. "Weren't those things always my job?"
Evan's tears turned into drops of crimson in the underworld! At the same time, they heard the calls of the others:
Yachim: "Brother Evan and Brother Mel, you have to come back!"
Madoram: "Evan, you're the strongest swordsman I acknowledge! No matter what, you have to come back and fight me!"
Sage Govi: "Don't forget, you still have your responsibilities!"
Lucias: "Don't make the girls cry!"
Douglas: "Aren't you two the greatest golden duo in the world? You can't die!"
Mitchell: "Don't forget, we still have to explore the new world!"
Uchiha Madara: "This world still needs you, Evan, Mel!"
Emeer: "I'll remember my promise with my brother. No matter what, Brother, you must come back with Brother Mel!"
Lutis: "Evan, you know... I... No matter what, you mustn't leave me behind!"
Those small prayers became countless crimson
