Kapitel 2365: Paternal Pride (Part 1)

"No offense to Kelia but I want friends my age. Also, I already met Dusk and he looks nice, but I don't trust him more than I trust you, Dawn. On top of that, if I was interested in babysitting, I wouldn't be taking this trip." Solus replied.

"Fair enough." The light of Dawn disappeared from Nyka's eyes as she spoke with her own voice again. "How long until we leave?"

"Just long enough to make sure that everything is alright and Lutia is safe. I'm not going to waste a single second more than necessary." Solus said.

The four women continued to talk until Solus was too tired to continue. Yet after ending the call, sleep eluded her. Solus was still haunted by Phloria's death, happy for the end of the war, and terrified at the idea of moving on with her life.
