At the moment Jane entered through the door, she didn't even manage to do anything before a tearful Eddie rammed into her embrace and cried loudly, causing her the awake from the thoughts that were in her head and immediately fill with guilt upon realizing the distress she caused to her beloved brother.
"No! it's not your fault Eddie!" she crouched and hugged him tightly as she began to cry as well, "I was the one at fault! You matter to me more than anything and I let that blind me and act selfishly, can you forgive me?"
"I forgive you! I forgive you!"
The two of them only had each other ever since Eddie was a baby. There was no one more important to them in the world other than themselves and so, they almost never had- no, dared to have arguments and fights, because they didn't know what the point in the world without the other. And because of that, when something like this happened to the point that one of them ran away from home, one could imagine the distress and heartache they had.
Elise, that Nex brought to be with Eddie in the meantime, stared at the scene with warm eyes, when she suddenly noticed that a certain person is missing and didn't come back with Jane.
But since she couldn't disturb Jane right now to ask it, she could only wait reluctantly for some time until the pair of siblings calmed down and seemed to be more approachable.
"Big Sister?" she asked cautiously just to make sure.
"Yes, Elise?" Jane lifted her head while patting the back of Eddie, that still hugged her tightly, and smiled gently at Elise while mouthing, 'Thank you for watching him.'
'You're welcome,' Elise mouthed back and then asked, "Where is Teacher? He said he will bring you back so I thought he would come back with you."
"Oh? Him?"
Jane's face became strange as she thought about how to explain the situation she herself had a hard time believing.
"Well, after he found me and calmed me down, someone from his past came and gave him quite a piece of shocking news. So he is right now at his apartment talking with her about it."
"Someone from his past?"
Elise and even Eddie's eyes widened in surprise and stared at Jane with shock.
Nex's past was always a great mystery for them he never talked about it and never did they saw him meet or talk to anyone other than themselves. So when they heard that someone from his past came looking for him and even carrying a shocking piece of news they were quite shocked and curious.
"What are those shocking news?" Eddie asked while Elise nodded from the side, something Jane said about it being a "she" gave them a bad feeling.
"Well…" Jane thought to maybe keep it a secret, but when she thought about that woman she knew it would be futile to try and hide it.

"So this is the place you live in now? It is no palace but I can see you are satisfied with that."
Celes mused as she entered Nex's house and looked around, scanning the house with her gaze. After a few moments where she checked the rooms of the house, she nodded in approval, "Quite good, it seems to have all that is needed for us and our child."

After not hearing Nex's response she turned around and saw him staring at her with a slightly blank look. She knew what is going on his mind as she came closer to him and asked with a smile, "Still hard to accept right?"
"I just can't believe you became pregnant," Nex sighed with a wry smile, "After all that time we tried to get children back then and then when we found out the reason we can't… for us to suddenly succeed, and like the way it happened. Why didn't I thought about this possibility before?"
"Maybe because you weren't really aware of what you just did," Celes came closer again and caressed his cheek along with a gentle gaze, "Nex, you did the impossible. You surpa.s.sed any G.o.d or devil and became an entirely new being. The Prime Divinity that was inside me was easily swallowed by your energy and turned me to the same being like you. Because of that, not only was I finally able to leave the G.o.ds Realm with my powers, I was finally was able to bear your child."
"But that's the reason I am so worried!" Nex seemed broken, "I just wanted to be human again, so I did and tried whatever I could to turn myself back to one. But instead, I turned to something far more powerful and terrifying than I ever imagined! Although I can control this power and know what I can do with it, from the moment I started to cultivate it I never dared to let others use it from fear of the effect it may bring."
"And now you and our child became part of it as well," he seemed like he was about to be lost in self-loathing and misery, "If something happens to either of you because of that I-"
Before he managed to finish his words, Celes pulled him into a deep kiss and silenced him. Although his emotions were at disarray, it was as if her kisses had a calming effect as he relaxed slightly and gently began to kiss her back as he put his hands on her waist.
After a few minutes of kissing, Celes backed away with a slightly flushed face and smiled at him before leaning her head on his chest, "You really are a handful, sinking yourself in worries because of a stupid thing that you not only created but also completely control. You should be happy at what there is right now. We actually going to have a baby! A child born from the two of us! Aren't you excited? You know very well that this is something we both longed for too long."
"I know," Nex gaze softened and he kissed her head, he knew she was speaking the truth, "It just that it all seem now so…"
"Unreal right?" she finished his words, "The future that now supposed to be happy and peaceful, suddenly feels horrifying and chaotic. But after all that we been through, can you really say that we should be afraid of being parents?"
"I guess not," Nex sighed, she always knew what to do the calm him down.
"Great!" Celes laughed and separated from him, "Now tell me what did you do since you came here and about this world. There is probably a lot I need to learn if I am going to live here. Plus, I can tell you have been enjoying here quite a lot and I want in on it."
"Oh well, where to begin?" Nex mood seemed to lift up as a smile widened on his face, "Do you remember when I told you that I dreamed about playing a game where your conscious enter into it and you can move your body as if it was a real-world?"
"Yes," Celes rolled her eyes but couldn't hide her smile upon seeing his, "You told about it so much that at some point I cut the connection with you or just throw things at you the moment you mentioned it."
"Then I am playing this kind of game now!" Nex was too thrilled to care about her response as he smirked as if he can't wait to tell her about a certain detail of the game, "And you don't believe it, but they made its world based on-"
"What!?"
"Nooo!"
But before Nex managed to finish his words, Elise and Eddie's voices could be heard all the way from Jane's apartment.
Nex furrowed his eyebrows in worry and turned his head to Jane's place direction, only sigh in relief, upon sensing there is nothing wrong with them.
When suddenly a frantic running sound of small legs could be heard, and in a few moments the door of the Nex house was opened and a small figure with a very stressed face entered while searching the place with his gaze.
Upon locating Celes he didn't even hesitate before running to her and hug her leg while falling to his knees.
"Oh my?" Celes seemed surprised upon seeing the adorable kid that looked very similar to Jane looking at her with pitiful eyes. Nex, followed by Jane and Elise that ran into the house as well stared at the kid with shock.
"Eddie? What are you-"
"Please! Please! Please! Beautiful Big Sister please don't keep Big Bro all to yourself and let my Big Sis be with him as well! Don't let me- I mean my Big Sis to keep live like a bitter and lonely old lady! I'm begging your gracious heart to listen to my request!"
Nex:"...*Muttering prayer under his breath*"
Elise:"...*Lamenting the fact she didn't take enough pictures of Eddie while she had the chance*"
Jane:"...*Veins popping*"
Celes stared at the kid with amus.e.m.e.nt and patted his head, she then lifted his and smiled at Nex, "I'm starting to see why are you so happy here."
"E-d-w-r-d!"
Jane's face turned entirely red from both embarra.s.sment and anger and she walked to her little brother in a way that made the latter s.h.i.+ver in fear and realizing that he brought doom upon himself. But he decided to try and accomplish his goal with as little time he has left.
"So what do you say? Do you agree to share Big Bro? Look at my Big Sis, she didn't bring a guy to our home even once! Isn't it sad- Ahhh! My ear! My ear! I'm sorry Big Sis! I was only doing this for your own good-Ahhh!"
"Such cute kid," Celes giggled at the scene and turned to Jane who was in the middle of inflicting pain, "Can I say something to him before you take him away?"
Jane stared at her before sighing and letting go of Eddie.
Celes smiled in grat.i.tude and crouched to be in front of the kid, she got closer to him and whispered in his ear loud enough to every one to hear.
"You Big Sis already made your Big Bro fall for her, as long as she doesn't mind sharing him, I don't mind as well!"
"Celestina!" Jane blushed in emmbaressment.
On the other hand, Eddie's eyes were filled with joy, "Thank you! I will start to convince her right now- My ear!"
And just like that, Eddie was dragged away into an unknown fate.
Celes then stood up and turned to Elise with a smile, "h.e.l.lo to you! May I know what the name of you cutie?"
"I-I am Teacher's disciple, Elise!" feeling a bit intimidated from Celes's looks and relation to Nex, Elise stuttered and blushed as she bowed respectfully, "Nice to meet you, Miss!"
"You took a disciple?" Celes lifted an eyebrow at Nex before walking to Elise and lifting her head. She caressed her cheek and neared her face to right in front of her's, causing Elise to blush like an apple and desperately avoid eye contact.
Nex stared from the side and smiled wryly, "Celes, don't be mean and stop teasing her already."
"Fine, fine, I'm sorry," Celes laughed and got away with a smile, "Nice to meet you too Elise, but don't call me Miss, call me Sister Celes from now on, is that clear?"
"Yes! Sister Celes!" feeling the warmth and fondness from Celes's actions, Elise started to open up and reply to her with friendliness. Since she is someone that is close to Teacher, she can't possibly be a bad person right?
"Good girl!" Celes beamed at her, "How about we go to hang out and shop for some clothing once Jane calmed down? I don't have clothes that fit the current trend so I need some help from someone from the area."
"Of course-"
"Wait a moment, " Nex stopped them with a sigh, "Elise, before Celes can go with you she needs to do something very important."
"What is it, Teacher?" Elise tilted her head in confusion with Celes also looking at him with curiosity. Aside from the weird clothes, it didn't seem there was something wrong with her right?
"It's very simple," Nex said with a wry smile, "She needs to get registered as a civilian first."
