He and the man just watched Hajime walk away from them as Hajime grabbed Lio by the hand while she was still looking at the ice wall.

Sometime later.
What's going on? Lio wondered, feet rustling against the ground. Weren't we supposed to be looking for someone? She continued, her eyes narrowing, looking at Hajime and Liora walking in front of her at a slow pace.
"H-hey." She uttered, her voice barely audible as her gaze wondered around the forest, scanning if there were any clues to finding the person they were looking for, but no matter where she looked there was only trees, grass, bushes with some colorful flowers, and more trees with no single signs of life forms. And Neither Hajime nor Liora got what she said, so, there just kept moving forward.
"Hey." She uttered again nervously, as she picked up her pace a little to match Hajime and Liora's.
