Later, Kyro suggested they shouldn't waste time, and if she wasn't too tired, they should go visit Aunt Maddie straight away. Iris agreed with extreme reluctance even if she wasn't too exhausted after the long flight. Her problem was that she didn't know what she was going to say to her aunt.
Kyro rented a car, and Iris told him the address. It was always at the tip of her tongue, for it had been her home for many years. Yet…
"You don't look good," Kyro said while giving her a sideways glance.
"It's nothing." She pulled her lips in a flicker of a smile, then returned to staring out the window at the streets that weren't too familiar to her. Her aunt lived outside the city, so they had a couple hours journey to reach her.
Silence reigned in the car for a while, until Iris could no longer take it. She looked back at Kyro and sighed. "I had written an email to her when I thought I was gonna remain a fox forever and never be able to return home."
