The next day, the first thing Erwin did when he regained control of his body was apologize.
"I can't be sorry enough. My words do not even begin to let you know how grateful, and also ashamed that you had to go through all of that to save me." He bowed down from the waist before the other four teenagers, catching them off guard.
"Hey, hey, it's okay. There's no need for you to apologize so formally." Kai rubbed his neck awkwardly as he placed a hand on Erwin's shoulder. He felt the Elf flinch, but otherwise, he felt nothing else.
Erwin stood up straight, his eyes glancing over each of the four others standing before him. In his eyes, a faint look of respect could be seen, if one looked close enough. This was especially so when his gaze stopped on Kai for a couple seconds longer than the others. While had had been keeping the Wildermoose busy with the others, he had seen what the younger boy had done.
