[Manga] Crazy these 100 Years Quest characters have yet to meet

I've mentioned before how I feel the handling of 100 Years Quest's White Mage plot line was weird. Despite lingering plot threads, after a weirdly handled sacrifice for Athena, the plot line just quickly ends, even though it had been a decently prominent plot line throughout the series.

A major impact of this is Selene's goal. Selene was an overarching antagonist for a long time, manipulating Faris, threatening Elentear, and starting the game in the Great Labyrinth of Dogra. With the reveal she was searching for Athena, it's crazy to think the two have never met, especially because they had similar goals of wanting to be human. Even if Athena doesn't have her power (we don't know if she does or not) or just wants to live a normal life, you'd think they'd at least tell Selene since everything she did was to find Athena. We don't even know if Selene knows she was found.

And while that obviously can't happen currently with everything going on in the story, I think this shows another problem with the Gold Owl Arc. The Arc started focused on Athena and yet is in such a rush to end that her character Arc ends in a narrated montage and while the story's still going, it just feels like the plot line ends suddenly without much focus on the threads around it or it's importance to the story.

Now, the story's still going and Athena and Selene are still alive, but it just feels like the story moved on so fast from those characters' stories.
