We pick back up with Shanks trying to figure out how to connect with Zechs and struggling in the process. With the aid of Galahad, Hoshino, and Arguile, they conclude that speaking to him and not at him would be best. Zechs is family, so Shanks should try to empathize with him. Later that evening, Arguile has a strange dream that has him in the point of view of a man named Yurrik, who, at this point, is interacting with Arguile’s mother. Shanks eventually finds himself with Zechs, and they have a heart-to-heart that leaves Zechs feeling like he knows more and connects more with Shanks in these past few weeks than he has in his entire time, knowing the sharpshooting elf. Another few days pass, and the group sees something unbelievable in the distance. Upon closer inspection, and with some caution, they find that this is a giant stone face floating in the sky. The ship keeps a wide berth, and after a pass from Duo, they decide it is safe enough to bring the ship in closer. They begin to confer with themselves about what to do when the face says, “Ask your questions three.” They confer once more and realize that they each can ask three questions. After carefully considering and choosing, they begin to ask and learn answers that have been on the group’s mind for what feels like eons now. With all the answers to questions left unspoken, will they like what they hear or regret ever asking?
