Is it over?

"Is it over?" Amar asked worriedly.

Ryan nodded.

"So simple?" she was apprehensive.

Ryan didn't know which part of this process looked simple to her, but nonetheless, he nodded with reassurance.

"Uncle is stronger than he looks," Noah Junior said, but this time, he didn't call him a loser, putting his hands interlocked behind his head.

"Brother," Helping Ryan back to his feet, Noah held the still trapped in his memories Shoyo on his shoulder and put him down beside the children, offering his back to Ryan, saying before he could refuse, "I'll carry him again in my arms after you climb up."

Ryan paused but didn't decline; he was unsure for how long he would be able to keep up the facade of strength for, "Mhmm."

"What are you going to do about him?" Noah Junior asked out of extreme curiosity, looking at Ryan on Noah's back; he and his little siblings had by now fearlessly surrounded Rohan's body.
