The early morning sun bathed Sam's Town in a warm, golden light, casting long shadows through the streets as Alex made his way into the inn. He entered to see his family and companions gathered around a large wooden table, sipping drinks and chatting casually. Elara sat with Thrain, Joan, Samantha, Aiden, Lyra, Tommy, Yuki, and Lila—all of them waiting to talk about the purchase of a new home.
"Hey everyone," Alex greeted as he entered, feeling a wave of warmth as he admired the size of his growing family. For a moment, he felt at peace, a rare feeling amidst all the chaos and danger they had faced over the years.
"Alex, your arm!" Joan exclaimed, his face lighting up with excitement. "It looks almost brand new!"
"Yeah, it does!" Lyra added, examining his newly constructed arm with a smile. "They really did a great job on it."
