Spoiler for after ch205 from the novel

[You, who wish to obtain a truthful answer from the Jewel of Truth. You must reveal a secret about yourself, that only you are aware of, to this world in exchange for the truth you seek.]

The voice resounded in his head as expected, and the knight did not hesitate to give his answer.

I never, ever thought once about a life without Master Lloyd, even right now.

And the response was immediate.

[You have willingly shared a secret that only you had been aware of, as the price to acquire the truth you seek.]

The surface of the lake glowed as the night sky became bright. Javier asked again.

What happened to Kim Suho's soul after entering through the gate of rebirth?

Javier wanted to know. He wanted to hear a good response. After a brief moment of waiting that felt like an eternity, the Jewel finally answered.

[Kim Suho's soul did not find a new body despite

having jumped into the portal of rebirth.]

What?

Javier flinched inadvertently as the jewel continued.

[Instead of being reincarnated into a new body, he went back into the original body of Kim Suho, staying at Room 301 of the tiny complex in Seoul of the different dimension from which he hailed.]

What...?

It was absolutely astonishing and unprecedented.

Then what of his memories about this place? Us?

Javier quickly asked, and was able to hear a response.

[He retained full memory of what transpired here in the estate and dearly misses all of you. It is possible to bring him back to this realm if you can travel across the dimensions.]

Knock. Knock.

What this time?

"...Huh?"

Someone knocked on the door. I wondered if the super came back to bicker at me about the mirror again.

I quickly wiped the tears off my face and tried to act nonchalant as best as I could. I strengthened my resolve not to show my weak side over and over again, as I slowly opened the door.

And there he was. The man that I missed so much, because I thought I would never get to see him again, was standing right outside the door. He was looking straight at me through teary eyes, with a hint of joy on his face.

"...I missed you so much, Master Lloyd," said Javier with a bright, tearful smile.
