(The Next Day, The Eternal Garden, Mairon's POV)
Upon Leo's summon, Mairon arrived at the Eternal Garden the next day, as despite trying to appear calm outwardly, deep within himself, he still felt unusually nervous regarding this meeting.
Ever since Leo cut him off years ago and forced him to build his own path independently, the relationship between the father and son had never truly returned to what it once was.
And despite the fact that Leo recently began speaking to him normally again, some invisible wall still remained between them, making Mairon feel strangely uneasy while standing before him now.

Walking slowly through the silver pathways of the Eternal Garden while golden leaves drifted peacefully around him, Mairon quietly looked around at the ethereal scenery surrounding this divine realm.
