"Milla! What are you doing here?"
Kate's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the old friend she had not seen for countless years.
"Haha, my dear friend," Milla replied with a bright laugh. "I came here just to wander around! But… where exactly is this place? It feels so strange!"
She glanced curiously around her, but then her expression suddenly froze. A heavy realization struck her. Something about this place was wrong.
Kate—hadn't she entered the Backworld thousands of years ago? Did that mean… she herself had also entered the Backworld?
No, that couldn't be right. She had been heading to Thousand-Sun Beach for a leisurely sunbath. How could she have ended up in this desolate, eerie place instead?
