The next day, as the morning mist enveloped the field at Midnight's family mansion, two figures of youngsters with matched paces jogged around the perimeter.
Jin gleaned at his side and saw Silvia's ragged breath, but determined to follow his routine. Her form was a mess, but he nodded and slowly lowered his pace.
There was no harm in doing it, so Jin did it even though he noticed the girl's face was crumpled. She bit her lips, but words stuck in her throat, and she resumed the training.
After they circled the field for less than an hour, the sunrise peeked through the horizon. Its bright light brought color into the grey world and slight warmth to ease the cold that seeped their bones.
Jin stomped hard and faced the east side. He drew a long exhale and turned toward the girl. "That's enough for warming up!".
"Haa, haa, haa, alright".
Silvia struggled to regulate her heavy breath. She stood near Jin, watching his side profile calmly gazing toward the golden eye.
