A heavy silence settled over the room as his words hung in the air, each heartbeat a drumbeat of uncertainty. Slowly, the tension began to ease, replaced by an understanding that only years of shared battles and triumphs could forge.
Sophia took a step forward, her expression softening. "Xavier, we're in this together. We face the unknown as a united front, no matter what challenges come our way."
Tavian nodded in agreement, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "We'll help you navigate through this. Together."
As the resistance closed ranks around Xavier, his heart swelled with gratitude and relief. Their unwavering loyalty was a reminder that their bond was unbreakable, and even in the face of darkness, they would stand united.
