Log;

Of course, he already knew that the world at present was not the world they had been fighting for.

Still, hearing that Celestial Being had been rebuilt (who initiated it, he wondered?) to fight the A-Laws elicited conflicting emotions from him.

And as he stood outside the apartment, observing the stars on that cold, January night, he wondered: Had he really waited that long to fight again? Perhaps he had been hoping, waiting, for change (because the world needed to change, it had to). And from what he had heard from Feldt, four years after the battle at Lagrange 3 and that change never came.

Nevertheless, it was good that Celestial Being had returned to fight conflict; that meant that they were at least still aiming for a better world, and that they were still there, still alive (Tieria, Allelujah, Feldt... Who else had survived?). On the other hand, it merely confirmed that even after four years, the world's distortion was still present, that the world hadn't changed at all despite Celestial Being's efforts.

Perhaps they had been wrong, when they said they could change the world...

She pondered that for a moment. Apparently she was the type to hold that against someone, despite them not being able to help it. What he had said to her ... was rude, even if she did somehow invite it in his own justification by comparing him to his brother. The situation probably meant nothing to Lyle -- a passing incident. To her, it was humiliating and degrading.

Yet he was who he was, and she could either accept it or continue to pout. It wasn't something she could talk about, especially not with Setsuna.

"I guess not."

He held his stare for a while longer. He wanted to explain why he agreed to recruit Lyle Dylandy, but it was strange enough that he were talking to a Feldt four years in the future, of things that have yet to occur, about things he had yet to do.

And even back then, before he came to the city and when he had been wandering around the world (unsure of whether anyone from Celestial Being was still alive, disappointed by the way the world was turning out), he had not thought that far: that Celestial Being would be reborn (although he knew that if they did, he would return immediately. After all, fighting was all he knew).

He looked away again, to the snow-covered streets before them. A few seconds passed before he finally uttered:

"We should inform Lockon Stratos."

Because he knew he couldn't keep something like that from Lockon, because he was certain that whatever his reasons were for bringing Lyle into Celestial Being, it would be what he thought was right.

She nodded in agreement, knowing she wouldn't have been able to keep too many secrets from him anyway, regardless of Setsuna's decision.

"... He's going to be angry, isn't he?" It was more of a statement, since she wasn't very questioning of the fact. Setsuna was obviously ready to face any consequences, and trusted in his own judgment. She felt somewhat more confident because of that.

"Understandable," he responded. What he really wanted to know, though, was whether Lockon was going to forgive him for what he had yet to do. Or would Lockon demand that he never involve Lyle, when the time finally came that he return to his world, now equipped with information of things yet to come?

Whatever Lockon's reaction, he will have to face it.

"We shouldn't delay."

"Mmhm."

Feldt walked past him rather quickly, eager to get back inside. She held the door open for Setsuna, glad that the other two residing in the apartment (and Haro. Especially Haro) were fast asleep.

Setsuna followed her back into the apartment, resting a hand on the opened door once he got in.

"I'll lock it."

A pause, and then:

"We'll tell him tomorrow."

She smiled at him, unwrapping his scarf from her hands. She contemplated putting it back on his neck, but decided that involved too much personal space invasion. So instead, she held it out to Setsuna.

"Yes, tomorrow." She gave a tiny yawn as she placed the scarf against his hand that was resting on the door.

"... Have a good night, then."

His eyes drifted down to the scarf, and he held his gaze for a while before taking it and swinging it over his shoulder.

He gave her a nod and turned to the door, closing it shut and double-checking the locks.

He knew Feldt was right; Lockon would be mad if he knew. But there was little he could do outside telling him, and he couldn't even explain why, at least not right now. Maybe the time will come, when four years will have passed and he finally could give his reasons, but he wondered if Lockon would ever get the chance to hear it.

And deep inside, he felt a tinge of sadness when he considered the possibility that maybe Lockon never will.
