Dimensional Descent

This purple puppy was none other than Simona's companion from all those years ago. All this time, Leonel had kept it in a snowglobe because he hadn't had a chance to give it back to her.

Back then, Leonel and Aina had found it in the Rapax Nest, but not wanting to deal with a beast they weren't familiar with in battle, chose to put it away instead. By the time they met Simona again, they were already in the core region of the Rapax Nest and things were too hectic for Leonel to care about such things, especially considering the appearance of the Three Finger Cult had left him completely infuriated.

Then, when they exited the Rapax Nest, Leonel was heavily injured and once again had other things to worry about.

Not long after returning, not only had Simona and the others of the Cataclysm Generation disappeared, but Leonel was then thrust into the Void Tower where the shocking event that sealed his Segmented Cube away and brought forward the date of his Spear Domain Tribulation would occur.

With all of those things happening, Leonel couldn't possibly think to care about a little puppy he had no relation with. But when he saw the tears in Simona's eyes, he felt quite bad. If he had tried a bit harder, it wouldn't have been a problem to get the little one back to her, but the honest truth was that he hadn't tried very hard at all.

To him, it was a meaningless thing, but to Simona, she thought that she had lost her best friend for over 20 years. Her relationship with the little purple puppy was no less than Leonel's own relationship with Little Blackstar.

Leonel walked forward with Aina and released the little puppy from the snowglobe.

The little guy looked around in confusion, but when it saw Simona, it yipped with happiness, diving into her arms completely oblivious to how long had passed.

Simona, the ice beauty that everyone had come to know, couldn't help it anymore and broke down in tears.

"Uh…"

Leonel scratched the back of his head. The emotions themselves didn't make him feel uncomfortable, it was more so that he felt bad that he was probably the reason they came out in a torrent like this. She might have not reacted like this had he found a way to get her companion back right after the Rapax Nest.

"Thank you… Thank you…"

Simona spoke between sobs.
