When Saku was out and playing she would just calmly sit around GU's Home and talk to Pi or Yata she would also stand by the stall where Gaspard sells items at their guild's trade shop it was unbelievable considering the fact that Saku has an explosive temper but what's more unbelievable is that when Bo was the one who's playing he avoids to be seen by GU and Canard's guild members he only talked to Atoli and was seen to be hanging around Moon Tree's Home sometimes he would party with Hiiragi and they would level up together.

Hiiragi seemed to notice that he was being used to replace Endrance, after all they have some commonality. Aside from the fact that they both fell in love with men, the two of them suffered an unrequited love. Perhaps Bo saw that and clung to him so it may remind him of Endrance but he thought Saku would do that rather than Bo after all she was the one who kept following the blade brandier around back then, and who wouldn't want to follow Endrance around? Hiiragi thought, the man was admirable and noble if he saw Endrance first than Sakaki he knows he would've been blindly devoted to him and would probably worship the ground that he walks on. Hiiragi whispered to himself, "To love someone... It is not to shut one's eyes to the other, nor to block one's ears to the truth... To love one another... Is to walk through life together... Open your eyes, open your ears... Look at each other... and together seek the best path for the both of you."

He clutched his hands to his chest, "You helped me open my eyes and free myself from the prison I've locked myself into, I hope could do the same for you, my friend."

Kuhn invited Haseo and Atoli on a quest in an attempt to fix the rift between them, she stopped talking to him and he seemed to be avoiding everyone and was rarely seen around. The steam gunner didn't utter a word about who the other party member was pleased with himself that they were pretty civil with each other but still the air around them was so thick Kuhn found it hard to breathe.

When confronted Atoli just said that she has nothing to say to Haseo and vice versa. Kuhn just sighed and thought of another way to salvage their dwindling friendship.

Ever since that incident two months ago Haseo has been the receiving ends of taunts and ugly remarks, if he wasn't known to be the top PKK way back then he would've been PK'd from all the flaming haters he now has but he wouldn't trade that for the world for what has been accomplished because finally, Endrance was out of his life and he could go back to being like he was before.

"Zelkova…" Endrance breathed out.

Zelkova ran up to him and patted his gloved arm then looked up to him then smiled childishly, "I see you, you're 'it' Endrance!" he giggled, "Geez, it's been soooo long, this game of hide and seek!"

Endrance frowned, "I wasn't… participating in any game… now, if… you'll excuse me…"

"It's been two months, hasn't it?" he bounce towards the direction that Endrance wants to go to the latter just eyed him, "People frequent Indeiglut Lugh now, you know. They say that there was a man who went there in order to find the person who would help him triumph in any obstacle he will be faced with and would love him endlessly." He faced the tall character and grinned cheekily, "They wanted to meet a person like that too, so they would come and pray at that spooky tree."

Endrance's lips formed a line, he disliked the way Zelkova described his spirit tree he had always found that tree to be beautiful and mystical, "The tree… would not grant them… such a wish…"

"Indeed, it is because that lucky man already said the magic words that could only be uttered once and from the heart. Those words had swayed the spooky tree's heart to give him such a person."

"Don't call… the spirit tree… spooky…" he paused, "why… did you spread… a rumor…"

Zelkova sighed, "I know you want to go to Indeiglut Lugh to be alone again,"

"Moon Tree… has it's Home… as does Canard and other guilds… Indeiglut Lugh… was mine…" Endrance said passively even though his argument meant a lot to him.

"I'm sorry En but that was the only way to keep you from shutting yourself from others again and we both know that wasn't a rumor."

"So… yes, it happened… but that doesn't mean… that that would… happen again…"

"You used to cling to possibilities even though you know it was bleak, what changed that?"

"…nothing has changed…"

"Then why are you here?"

"The same reason… why I fought alongside him…" Endrance looked to the setting sky of Mac Anu, it has always been that way but to his player it was the only way to see a setting sun.

Zelkova watched the enigma that is Endrance, like him the man spoke of cryptic words that make them both seem to possess ancient knowledge, his character's smile changed to a sad one. He feels why Endrance chose to leave Haseo's side, it would definitely pain him more to remain by the Terror of Death's side when he knew clearly of what Haseo has been feeling towards him. He has seen Endrance's devotion to the former PKK numerous times, one of the most memorable was when the aloof player acted as if he was betraying Haseo to side with Sakaki and in the end Endrance sent the final blow to the Aida infected Sakaki, it was a very noble act indeed, For Haseo, Endrance would allow himself to suffer hell if it means saving the other from the wrath that his chosen path would ensue him. 'Such a devotion deserves a better treatment.' Zelkova thought with pity, Endrance was pitiful and he hoped he could change that. He sighed and Endrance faced him, "So, what do you intend to do now?"

The Temptress shrugged his shoulders and pursed his lips as if he was deep in thought, "I… have… not thought of it…"

Zelkova's face lightened, "Endrance," he said in a happy but sincere tone, "I honestly care for you and I have thought of you as one of my close friends." Endrance looked at him indifferently but he continued, "you know, I care about you a lot so I don't want you to end up substituting someone for Haseo like you did with him for Mia."

"No one… could replace him…" his brows knotted as he frowned.

Zelkova raised his hands to silence Endrance, "That's not what I was saying." Endrance made a lazy blink, "I'm afraid of your nature Endrance, I don't want to leave you alone. I fear that you would commit the same mistake again. You were wounded when Mia was nowhere to be found and now you're deeply wounded when you left Haseo," he tucked his hands behind his back and gripped them together, "If a person, let's say some random player approaches you and pushed the right buttons there might be a possibility that you would fall for her OR him, right?" The Temptress crossed his arms on his chest and opened his mouth for a rebuttal but Zelkova stepped forward and clasped his hands, "I want to help you get over Haseo and start anew! Without ever needing someone to be happy with, let's make a new and reformed Endrance!" he smiled sincerely hoping Endrance saw through it even though it was computer animated. He waited for a moment, Endrance closed his eyes.

"As I have told you… no one… could replace him… in my heart… in my mind… he will always… be there…" Zelkova bit his lip as Endrance continued without looking at him, "I don't think… it's possible for me… to get over, him…" the smaller character felt Endrance's hands tightened his grip on his, "but… I want to… move on…" he opened his eyes to reveal broken scarlet and looked at Zelkova, "Help me… be a reformed Endrance… one that could be strong enough… to be worth… breathing… in the same air… as he does…"
