"The day after tomorrow is Halloween," Peggy said, holding a pumpkin.
It was then that Aske remembered, almost unconsciously, that the end of the year was approaching.
Having passed nearly half a year since he had arrived in this world, he had no idea what the situation was like back on Earth. His mother must be posting missing person flyers everywhere, right? It was such a pity, for he had absolutely no clue how he had crossed over.
Why did this body, this Aske's appearance, look so strikingly similar to his own before crossing over? Why could he speak the languages of this world from the very beginning without the memories of Aske? Sirius language, Latin, Frankish, Iberian, as well as Saxon and Britannian—none of which he had studied before, but they all translated in his mind the moment he thought about them. Was this a soul-transference or a physical crossing?
