Short summary: This hospital scene occurs in the current timeline after Rafayel and MC's reunion in Linkon City. It reveals lingering consequences of their childhood forgotten promise particularly Rafayel's trauma from being forgotten and MC's instinct to rescue others. Their dynamic blends playful banter with deep-seated longing.

Timeline Notes:

Note: Ivory Nightfall aligns after Chapter 4, with MC’s grief over her grandmother’s death and their early dynamic. In contrast, this shows a slightly deeper connection (e.g., holding hands feeling somewhat natural) and Rafayel’s verbal request for her not to vanish, suggesting a more advanced stage in their relationship.

Key Lore Information:

• Relationship/Dynamics: Holding hands, he asks her to not vanish so some type of relationship is starting to form.
• Lemuria:
  • He doesn’t say he’s a Lemurian but implies it, MC will confirm it in Ebb and Flow later.
