New Beginning.

Jun arrives, walking up the path toward Ace's home with a mix of curiosity and excitement.

His heart races at the thought of meeting Ace's parents. As they approach the front door, Ace hesitates for a moment, glancing at Jun.

"Ready?" Ace who had gone to meet him on the way asks, trying to sound casual but his voice betraying his nerves.

Jun gives him a reassuring smile. "Of course. I'm not going anywhere." He pats Ace on the shoulder, his usual confident self.

Ace has told him everything that his parents told him. How and why they left him there. How they've been watching him.

How they are the legends, the only kind remaining.

Ace gives a tight-lipped smile and knocks softly before pushing the door open.

"Welcome, Jun!" Elira's voice is filled with warmth as she spots them. She pulls Jun into a quick hug, her hands light on his back. "We've heard so much about you. Ace talks about you all the time."
