Pyuku slowly opened his eyes again, realizing we were hugging him with Aquarina. His shapeless form slowly taking back the appearance he had before, of a young-looking boy… or girl.
"Are you feeling better now?" I asked him. "Can you relax and explain what you found out?"
"I-I…" The young slime didn't know what to say. He seemed to feel some guilt, but also seemed to still have the same feelings as before.
"It's alright, we're here for you!" Aquarina smiled. "We're pals, right? Since we found you! Like Ninhursag said, that you might be the last of your kind doesn't mean you're alone. And who says you're the very last? You know how BIG the world is, Pyuku?"
"Aquarina…" The slime sighed, nodding. "Sorry… Sorry for lying to you and everyone else about who I truly was. I felt like if I simply pretended to be a slime, my life wouldn't become complicated. But… as the years went by, I felt more and more depressed. It felt as if life was becoming meaningless."
