Anna hoped that Lu Li would return: the fall of the Royal City of Arlen was just the beginning, much like the destroyed Belfast was merely the first unlucky city to be preyed upon among countless others. Elm Forest, with Anna's protection and the presence of other companions, was the safest place.
Lu Li wanted to go to Waynefort County to deal with the Evil Spirit Sara and Adam's True Body. The outside world was becoming increasingly dangerous, and he needed to finish everything outside while it was still safe during the daytime.
"After we return to Elm Forest, I can go to Waynefort County to end them myself, carrying redemption with me," Anna did not want Lu Li to take risks at this time. "Moreover, Lilia, Aidanvoya, and Mother of the Marsh are still waiting for us."
Anna thought this would persuade Lu Li to return, but she forgot one thing.
"We need to be together," Lu Li said.
