When Axel saw that they were stunned by his words, he then said to them, "Kevin explained to me that in his past life, everyone who had been close to him ended up running away from him because they were too scared of him; it traumatized him a bit... I think... So, as he is just starting to trust people again, and you are his first and only friends so far, just be careful not to reopen his old scars."
Alan and Erik nodded; they understood better now. Erik said to reassure him, "I won't talk about it, don't worry." Axel smiled and asked them again, "So, what happened? Did Kevin manage to kill the Elite Warrior Vampire? And how did we get back here?"
Erik told Alan to explain what had happened in the boss room of the dungeon while he started to make them a big breakfast; he was hungry, and Alan and Axel had to be hungry too, especially Axel, who had missed two meals yesterday.
