The silence of the night felt far warmer after those words were spoken.
"I have accepted you for a very long time."
Aurelia's voice still lingered softly in the cool air surrounding the ruins of the old facility.
Moonlight reflected upon the surface of the small pool before them, while the night wind drifted slowly, carrying a sense of calm that felt strangely comforting.
The luminous figure remained motionless.
Its gaze stayed fixed upon Aurelia.
And for several seconds…
Its entire existence seemed to stop moving altogether.
The entity beside Aurelia trembled gently.
Its radiant lines pulsed with a steady rhythm, now filled with immense, warm emotion.
The unit positioned behind them continued to maintain the network.
Kael let out a long breath as he looked toward the sky.
"Wow."
Orion nodded slowly.
"Emotional stabilization increasing dramatically."
Ragnar wore a faint grin.
"He finally got the one thing he has always been searching for."
And it was indeed true.
