Return (The Turning Point)
復
Analysis
Children You Metal is the Use Spirit, in resting phase, in Empty Decade, broken by the month, and clashed by a moving line. The Use Spirit is weak, beaten and powerless, and additionally restrained by the Subject line. Use Spirit You Metal transforms into You — west. If he could not return in the 6th, 7th, or 8th months when Metal thrives, no other time will bring him back either.
Actual outcome
He has still not returned to this day.
