"Cyran!" a familiar female voice called, and they all turned to see Cyran's mom trotting over in a corset-style jumpsuit, her black hair packed into a high ponytail.
"Mom! You came!" Cyran smiled widely as he hurried over to his mom, and they both met in a tight hug, which went on for almost a minute. When Cyran's mom pulled away, tears were glistening in her eyes, and she cupped her son's face, a wide smile on her lips.
"Of course, I will come! It's my son's high school graduation. I would come even if I were at the end of the world. Besides, I didn't want to be like your dad, who is nothing but a disappointment."
"I'm happy you were able to come, Mom. Thank you."
"I'm happy too, but there is no need to thank me. Now, where are your friends?" She said, shifting her gaze away from Cyran and turning to look behind him.
Cyran turned and gestured toward Ephyra, Malia, and Orla, who stood nearby. "They're right here, Mom. Come meet them."
