"IT'S PRETTY anti-climactic, isn't it?" Neoma wondered out loud. "I thought the final test would be intense."
The older Neoma laughed softly while shaking her head. "Little Neoma, it may seem anti-climactic to you. But it took a long time for me to be able to reach you. If you and your family didn't develop a strong bond and deep love for each other, then I wouldn't be able to reach you. I'm someone who's really capable, amazing, excellent, strong, and beautiful, but even someone like me has limitations, too."
"All I heard was you praising yourself."
"It's not praising myself— it's stating a fact."
"Yeah, sure," Neoma said, laughing. "I don't think I've already said it before, but thank you for helping my family."
"They are my family, too."
"Are you going to meet them once they wake up?"
"Nah, I'll be gone by then."
"Why don't you want to meet them?"
