The man who had come back to life before everyone, the last leader of the Tribe of Tomorrow, slowly walked toward Alex. His steps were calm and steady, and his expression was peaceful.
He stopped a few feet away from Alex and smiled at him warmly. Then, he waved at Alex and said in a clear voice: "Hey, Alex. We meet again."
Alex's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't reply right away. He stared at the man in front of him. After a few seconds, he opened his mouth and said plainly: "We never met before actually. At least… not when you were still alive."
For a brief moment, the leader looked surprised. His eyes widened a little. But then, he chuckled softly and nodded.
"You're right, we never met in person," he said in a gentle voice.
He looked at the swirling vortex behind him and then turned back to Alex and continued speaking.
