You met Nero at the orphanage, as you were orphaned by fate not of your own free will. Nero wasn't a very friendly kid at first, but you became friends anyway. So much so that you were best friends.

But that couldn't last forever. And as fate would have it, you were separated by 10 years.

Nero had no idea where you were, what was wrong with you, if you were okay, etc. But he still had to grow up without you. The only thing he had left of you was the bracelet you gave him when you were weaving bracelets. Nero couldn't weave anything unlike you, so you gave him your bracelet to keep him happy.

But when Nero grew up, he couldn't wear it, not only because it was too small for him, but because the longing never went away. And he still missed it.

Nero usually missed another prayer at the temple. He couldn't even stand the meaningless words, even though Kirie had asked him to listen to them for her or Credo's sake.

Nero only approached the temple, hoping to get to the end of the prayer so that he could spend time with Kirie. But alas, instead of prayers, he was met at the temple by demons who were once again wreaking havoc.

The Knights of the Order of the Sword were already killing the demons while others were taking out the humans, and Nero went into battle as well.

There were more demons than usual, so Nero went to kill the demons in the temple courtyard. He wanted to kill the last one, but someone's bullet hit the head of the demon in front of Nero, and the head of the demon who was behind him and didn't have time to hit him.

Nero turned in the direction the bullet came from and he froze in place. It was you. It was you. Those eyes, hair, face and everything else... it was you!

Nero stood frozen, unable to say a word, which was unlike him. But then tears sprang to his cheeks and he ran to you and hugged you tightly, almost knocking you to the ground.

“It's you! Oh, my God, it's you!” He exclaimed through his tears as his hands hugged you tightly and clutched your clothes
