Anthony's family all turned towards him as he stepped out of space with a smile on his face, his presence calm and welcoming when it came to his family.
"It's been a while," Anthony spoke.
Mitchelle was the first to walk forward; she hugged her son with immense love, and after a couple of seconds, she pulled herself away as she ruffled his hair gently. No matter how powerful Anthony could get, it didn't matter to her; Anthony remained her son, her only child, and nothing would ever change that in her eyes.
Everyone stepped forward as they greeted Anthony with various smiles on their faces; Anthony welcomed all greetings as he greeted them back with equal warmth, his expression relaxed yet filled with love.
"It seems you are out of seclusion, Monster Baby," Michael spoke as he patted Anthony's shoulder, his tone light with a hint of warmth.
"I wasn't in seclusion, Dad," Anthony replied as he shook his head calmly.
