Calis held onto Lee Seng's wrist, struggling to pull the sword away. He gritted his teeth, watching the Fox Spirit despair. Lee Seng wailed, dropping the molten sword. He dropped to his knees as he incoherently begged for Keng. Calis knelt down and hugged Lee Seng, leaving Ritsuka to realize he had held his breath.
"It's okay." Calis whispered to Lee Seng. "Everything will be fine. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault."
"Calis!" Manny shouted somewhere off in the distance. "Where'd you go?"
"Over here." Calis waved his hand to catch Manny's attention. Manny rushed over, hearing Lee Seng's cries. Calis continued to hug him while Manny absorbed what was happening.
"Ritsuka?" Manny asked, running over to him. "Are you okay?" He helped Ritsuka up, who silently stared at Lee Seng. Ritsuka sniffled, wiping his nose and nodded. Manny looked over and understood everything in that moment.
