Jonah looked different now. His brown hair was now tied back in a ponytail. Even more, he had a beard now that he had grown over the course of the past year. There was no resemblance to the young man that Arthur knew.
A scar ran down his left eye and reached his cheek. Arthur knew that whatever happened during the merge had affected him a lot, but he was still laughing and smiling all the time, much to Arthur's belief.
The object of his laughter was none other than Ellen. Arthur was taken aback when he saw the young woman, now with her hair cut short and clad in armor, sitting in the Vice-Guildmaster's seat next to Jonah.
He was still in the process of learning the names of everyone, and Julia made a note regarding the two. It seemed that fate had worked in mysterious ways, and Jonah had rescued Ellen during the merge. Even more, they were now romantically involved with each other.
