Seiryuu and Renzai spent only a day in the United Tribes, and went back to keep on track the preparations of what they are calling 'The Goddess' Palace.' Astri likes to call it 'Tsukihina Home', because the United Tribes Castle is also her home.
Astri goes with the girls to clean Xzan, Dante, and Dieg's graves, guarded by Skalven, Kangki, and the other children.
"Mom, why didn't fathers Xzan and Dante didn't come back to life like father Dieg? They also loved you until the end." Yuki asks.
"It is not only a matter of love. There are other kinds of circumstances. When Dieg died, I had never shifted. I believe that when I shifted, his soul, which was dormant, awakened along with my powers, since spouses have a soul connection. Xzan and Dante weren't bound to my soul yet, either.. Of course, his love and desire to save me also made his soul not pass all stages of death." Astri explains.
"All stages of death? What is that?" Hopin asks.
