The morning sunlight filtered through the tall, arched windows of the mansion, casting a warm glow on the polished wood floors. Alex wandered through the mansion's hallways, lost in thought as he absorbed the peace and beauty of his home. The fresh scent of blooming flowers from the garden outside filled the air, and the soft chirping of birds created a serene ambiance.
He was still marveling at how far they had come—this place, this mansion, which they had built up together, had become a symbol of new beginnings. With the crops growing in the fields and the family thriving, Alex felt a sense of accomplishment. But even with everything in place, there was always something new on the horizon.
As he rounded a corner, he saw Lyra and Yuki standing by one of the large windows, their heads close together as they whispered. Lyra turned her head slightly when she saw Alex approaching and smiled warmly at him.
