Now, seeing Kisha safe and sound before him, Ethan first thought he was imagining things. He had been planning to leave the hidden base with a small group to search for her in City B.
However, upon discovering the Aldens' ongoing contact with Kisha, he and his family drew closer to them, hoping to gather as much news about her as possible.
They learned that Kisha and Duke had reunited with Duke's family and were tying up loose ends before returning to the hidden base.
This made Ethan hesitate. If he left to look for her, he might miss her entirely or be stranded elsewhere.
These conflicting thoughts overwhelmed him, ultimately keeping him from seeing her even longer.
"H-Hello again, little sister." Ethan ran toward Kisha, his eyes locked on her, scanning for any signs of injury. He was already fretting over her well-being, eager to make sure she was truly okay. But before he could reach her, someone else beat him to it.
