Eilan froze in shock as he saw Amanda carrying his sister. He rushed forward, his eyes darting anxiously over Eilish's fragile state.

Tears streamed down his face, unstoppable and overwhelming. Though his memories remained incomplete, and his bond with Eilish was faint, his heart felt unbearably heavy. The sorrow was inexplicable, yet deeply visceral, as if some buried connection was wrenching his soul apart.

The future felt bleak.
