[ Garen pops up on the Warp Band one day. He's finally back home. ]

Good evening, friends. I'm not sure if my name is still remembered, but Garen Crownguard is back. I suppose a small explanation is required for my absence.

I left on a mission, the details of which shall remain confidential, but suffice to say I ended up at Glacier sometime before the white dragon arrived. I defended the people there, but was gravely injured and only just recovered enough to make the trip back to Union.

I will be resuming my duties as a Sword of the Savior immediately.

I see. I suppose he's not back, then.

[ Garen's not terribly happy about that. Their families were close, and Garen knew these boys fairly well. It could not be easy for Fai to come back empty-handed. ]

Don't give up. You will find him some day, even if it's just a body.

[ So optimistic, Garen. ]

[Inside, Fai feels as if a knife was just dropped through his chest, but his only response is a blank, expressionless face and a slow headshake.]

If he was dead, I'd know.

[The syllables are flat and low compared to his normal voice.]

His mind and mine have been connected since we were born. Since the morning he disappeared, I haven't been able to feel it, but... no, he's not dead. I know he's not dead.

[The flat emptiness he feels when he tries to find Yuui is a wall, something keeping them apart. It's not a hole, not a gaping wound where his twin ought to be. That's what he needs to believe, to be able to go on.]

Then he's not dead. That means you still have a chance to find him. [ Garen states the obvious, but sometimes the obvious has to be stated. He's trying to make a point. ]

So have faith in yourself. It wouldn't do to have you falter now. Your friends would be heartbroken to lose you for real.
