We take a moment to relax, letting Lumi rest peacefully in her quiet room. Sophia and I sit together on the balcony of Curtis' house, enjoying the serene view of the small garden as the late afternoon sun begins to dip lower in the sky. The warm, golden light bathes the space, casting a tranquil glow over the entire scene. It's the kind of peaceful haven where time seems to slow, and for a moment, everything feels at ease.
Meanwhile, Lyon has stayed behind with his younger sister to watch over her. Sophia has woken up, and though her head still aches slightly and she's running a small fever, she seems content. The joy of having saved Lumi is evident in the soft smile she wears.
"Jack," she says softly, her voice barely louder than the breeze, "can I borrow you for a moment?"
"Yes, what is it?" I reply, leaning slightly toward her.
But instead of answering, Sophia simply moves closer and rests her head gently on my shoulder.
