Ales's shoulder rose and fell, too tired to glare at the unwanted company. In place of that, he turned away from Twilight, no longer looking at Ellie but at another group of crystallized Heroes.

Look at them. Ales had been in Crystallis for almost the entire time people were being transported to Crystallis, he had seen many come and go. Some who barely made their mark. Some who did so much work and were rewarded with a state between life and death. These that he was looking at had gone away nearly two years ago. If they were to come back, surely they would be disappointed in how things had gone the past several months as well.
