A Faint Connection

Rome, Italy.

Kai's pov:

I stepped aside to let Souline into the mansion, and as she entered, I could see her trembling from a distance. It was clear that something was wrong. "AJ! Get a warm towel!" I called out. AJ, Denzel, and Vex rushed downstairs, their footsteps echoing as they came to see what was going on.

AJ quickly handed me the towel, his face filled with worry. I turned to Souline, handing her the warm towel, watching as she slowly began to dry herself off. Her hands shook uncontrollably, as if the cold had seeped into her very bones. She looked exhausted and upset, and something about the way she carried herself made my chest tighten.
