A week quietly passed after Lia's and Maximus's reunion.
For several more days, the two of them remained inside William's domain instead of returning to the outside world immediately. The time dilation within the domain allowed them to spend what felt like several peaceful years together while only a handful of days passed outside.
After everything they had endured, neither of them wished to waste even a single moment worrying about the outside world. They simply stayed together, speaking about everything they had been suppressing for years.
The invisible distance that had existed between them during their reunion gradually disappeared.
