A sort-of epilogue for World 001 really hits the spot for me. I expected to jump right away into the story of World 002, but I like this because it makes their universe feel more alive, and not just "NPCs from some self-contained game world"; Tia has her own goals and dreams that impact the story: a reminder to me that Ed isn't the only one making things happen.
10 years, huh. That makes Tia ~134 years old, not that it changes much. Still as beautiful as the day Ed disappeared on her. Maybe even more beautiful now. Although if the same rules apply to her in that white space, she's probably defaulted to her 124 year old self now that she's there.
Alexis has succeeded the throne. Kind of surprised he isn't married yet, but alright. I like how they ultimately believed he was still alive, despite him wanting them to think he died in that final battle. So they found his sword after all, but I guess the reason it wasn't recorded anywhere, is because they kept it hidden and only the 3 of them knows about it. I had questions on how Tia found him, but I'm glad we seem to be getting answers about that.
