Bloodlust

Rio looked down at Lisa's figure, hugging him tightly, his hands still frozen midway as the memories of that time came back to his mind. 

Lisa, who was too happy after seeing him alive and back, had directly ran towards him earlier. She had heard rumors and read all reports of his return too, but no one confirmed anything and she doubted the validity of the stories too.

She had seen herself how badly wounded he was back then, just surviving with those injuries alone would've been a hard feat, let alone adding along surviving a dungeon crash and then having to live in a failed world of immortal enemies for 2 whole years. 

But seeing him here, walking alive, she couldn't hold back herself as she just held him and poured out all the guilt and pain she had kept hidden. She had even forgotten about the people surrounding them or the fact that the whole world was probably watching everything, as she was too lost in her emotions and excitement.
