Chapter "The Power Of Support"

Hamond and Rurina stood side by side, their eyes fixed on the game. A shadow of concern crossed Rurina's face as she leaned in closer to him, her voice barely above a whisper. "Hamond," she murmured, her tone laced with unease.

Hamond turned to her, his gaze softening. "Yes?" he responded, sensing the worry in her voice.

Rurina hesitated for a moment, her thoughts heavy with concern. "I'm worried about Sheryl and Ruby. Should we go after them?" she asked, her voice betraying the anxiety she felt.

Hamond nodded, his expression mirroring Rurina's concern. "I'm worried too," he admitted. "But Hamlyn and Henry have already gone after them. I’m confident they'll bring them back, and with their spirits lifted."

Though Rurina nodded in agreement, the anxiety still lingered in her eyes.

Just then, Teacher Sarah approached, her presence calm but purposeful. "Hamond, have Hamlyn and Sheryl returned yet?" she asked, her voice steady but with an undercurrent of concern.
