"Uh, just fainted like that?" Andrew was startled, shook his head and laughed.
He looked down earnestly at Barbara in his arms.
When they first met, that inexplicable sense of closeness arose again.
And it was even stronger than before.
Like Andrew, Barbara had no awareness of the moment when the "Tear Mark" and the "Soul Flame Butterfly" intertwined, with water and fire united in an instant.
But now, Andrew could vaguely sense: something had changed!
A part of the change was happening to Barbara.
The "Warm Fire Order" on her chest, which had once guided her to Andrew, was now quietly melting and slowly merging into Barbara's smooth, full forehead. This process was very much like Andrew's "Tear of the Water God" pendant melting and forming the "Water God Mark" on his forehead!
