Astri is standing on the white jade balcony that overlooks the sacred river, which crosses through the Mizuryuu Castle's lands, while the sun is going down on the horizon. Astri's family was spending their time together after one more day of training.
Claud sits next to Yuki, who is knitting a poncho like Astri taught her to do. He hugs her shoulders and kisses her head.
"Is everything all right?" She asks him in confusion.
"Everything is great. I just wanted to thank you for everything you have done all these years." He says, smiling at her.
"For what?"
"All these years, I never shared how much I was suffering alone. But you could feel it. Even if you didn't hear my thoughts or say anything to me, you would always come and help me with a comforting hug. Raising me from the ground when I was at my lowest moments. I am sure that if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have handled all the pressure and suffering I was going through." He says.
