Mark's brow furrowed slightly as he observed Lord Hei wiping away tears like a man seeing home after centuries in exile.
"You alright, Elder…?" Mark finally asked, cautiously.
Lord Hei exhaled slowly and composed himself. "Earth still exists even after 2 million years. Life still moves forward, and the countries I remember still exist. How couldn't I be moved?"
Mark tilted his head. "Wait… What era are you from exactly?"
"I left Earth in the year 2004."
"Huh?" Mark blinked, baffled. "I'm also from the 21st century, though. Just 40 years from you."
Lord Hei stiffened.
He turned to Mark slowly, disbelief etched into every feature. "Impossible," he muttered. "More than 2 million years passed since I left Earth," Lord Hei replied, his voice laced with quiet horror.
Mark's jaw dropped. "Wait… What?! That… can't be right. Are you sure there isn't some sort of… insane time dilation going on?"
