The Sky of Days Long Past (いつか見たあの空を Itsuka Mita Ano Sora o) is the 111th chapter of Hiro Mashima's Edens Zero.
Having acquired Mother Ether from the chamber, the crew prepares to continue their journey. However, Witch tells Nadia the truth of what happened to Andrew.
Summary
In the temple, Shiki shows to the others his Aquatic Adaptation Lacrima, now shining in the colors of the rainbow. Nadia explains that the Mother Ether found a vessel and went inside on its own, where the treasure kept here was a part of Mother. She continues to explain that it is said that there are many pieces of Mother across the cosmos, called Relics, where the Mother Ether acts as a compass to find more relics, finding enough and absorbing their Ether might eventually lead them to Mother. Weisz complains, thinking they can just absorb more of the temple's Mother Ether, but Laguna corrects him that it is not possible from the number of people who came before, which Nadia agrees. Now having something to lead them to Mother, they thank Nadia, where Pino hopes that she can see Andrew again. Hearing this, Witch informs Nadia that Andrew is dead, but that he kept his promise. She tells her that a small ship crash landed not long ago, with the body of Andrew. Showing them the memory chip that she found on the ship, Nadia request to show it. Pino inserts the chip into her arm, where a screen projects from her. The recording starts with Andrew asking how Nadia is doing, making the android blush. Andrew explains that he managed to get back the relic from a small time crook with the help of a friend in the government and this should restore the bots of Red Cave back to normal. He notes that he is close to Red Cave, saying that he misses the sky they always watched together. He apologizes that it took a whole year and says that he loves her. Suddenly a warning signal starts and the video cuts in static. Witch explains that he was struck by a meteoroid and from their calculations, he was likely rendered unconscious and unable to steer, knocking him off course until 200 years where he crash-landed.
In shock, Nadia runs off to find him, breaking off the cable attached to her. The others follow afer her, where she finds the ship and Andrew's body, crying in disbelief. Witch tells Nadia that a human's life is short compared to theirs. Nadia sees this now and questions if it is wrong for a machine to love a human. Witch denies this, saying that they can all love whomever they choose. Nadia wonders what good would it do to live in a world without Andrew, which Witch says she misundertands. She adds that the souls of those they have lost exist within their hearts. Nadia states that androids do not have hearts, but Witch counters that the fact she feels love for someone is proof that she does. Suddenly the relic breaks out of the the ship, causing a large flash of light, reactivating the robots and the water levels start receding, restoring the planet to its rightful state. With the night ending and the sky turning red, Nadia states that the candelabra illuminates their world and states that Andrew helped her see the world they once saw together again and everyone watches the sunrise. Before they leave, the robots of Red Cave and the octopus monster wave them goodbye. While Weisz and Shiki are surprised that the monster was the temple's guardian, Homura asks what ails Rebecca, which she states that she wishes a Chronophage could come and eat Red Cave's time, 200 years of it.
