Lily gently patted Malik's back, her heart swelling with overwhelming relief. "I'm so glad you remember... I'm so glad you're back."
Beside them, Art shifted effortlessly from his towering form back into a tall, striking human figure, folding his arms across his chest with a proud smirk.
Before the group could fully bask in the joyful moment, a firm knock echoed against the grand entrance doors. Lily gently pulled back from Malik and stepped toward the foyer. Swinging the door open, she froze in absolute disbelief.
"Hello! We're here to complete the family," a vibrant voice sang out. "How's everyone doing?"
"Star!" Lily cried out, throwing her arms around Star's neck in a desperate, joyous hug. "It's... it's really you!"
Star returned the tight embrace, a radiant smile lighting up her face. "Yes, it's me! And guess who I brought with me?"
Lily pulled back, searching her face in confusion—until two synchronized voices rang out from behind Star.
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
