Bitter Reunion

Raidon guided Kaida to a soft landing near the edge of the forest, close to Dr. Haruka's house. He dismounted swiftly, glancing around to ensure they weren't being followed. The moonlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting eerie shadows on the ground.

He hurried to the door and knocked in a specific pattern. After a moment, Dr. Haruka opened the door, his face pale.

"Raidon, you're back. What happened?"

"We're in grave danger," Raidon replied, stepping inside and closing the door behind him. "I have proved that Makoto is dead and they all know I've betrayed Mashiira. The remaining Deadly Seven will come for us."

Dr. Haruka's eyes widened with fear, but he nodded resolutely. "Then we must act quickly. I have a few supplies we can take, but we need to leave soon."
