73:Intruder[II]

Talia walked behind the group, her sharp eyes scanning the surroundings. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. Her thoughts wandered as she watched the others.

Freya led the way, her usual confidence shining through as she dealt with any obstacles in their path. Right behind her was Ryan, trying too hard to impress her, his desperate attempts almost painful to watch. And then there was Lukas, the odd one. He was cold, grumpy, and unpredictable, yet somehow familiar, giving her an odd sense of déjà vu.

Talia didn't know how to fit in with any of them.

Freya was too proud, Ryan was annoying, and Lukas... he was just too distant. But one thing was clear to her.That was Lukas was the glue holding the team together. Despite his sarcastic remarks and occasional arguments with Freya, he kept things from falling apart.

Without him, Talia was sure Freya would have abandoned them by now, venturing off on her own.
