Darkness, a vast darkness.
The darkness seemed endless, but suddenly a bundle of pale blue flames erupted, illuminating the immense space.
Bathed in the light of the pale blue flames, Pandora opened her eyes wide, surveying the strange surroundings and asked Richard, "Where are we?"
"Inside the suitcase," Richard replied.
"The black box we saw just now?" Pandora asked.
"Yes," Richard confirmed.
With even wider eyes, Pandora exclaimed in surprise, "Then... this box is really big, isn't it!"
Richard, unsure of how to explain the concept of space items to Pandora, simply patted her on the head without saying a word and pulled her towards the palace.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
Their footsteps echoed. As Richard stepped through the palace gate, he heard the anxious voice of the Golden Mask from within, "Hey, hey, hey, kid, is that you coming back? It is you, I knew it! You would come back! Come over here, come closer, and have a chat with me!"
