"Wait, he's still out there, he must be out there!"
Nicole was reaching out, while Chase was holding her back, though clearly seemed to be struggling in the process.
He clicked his tongue as he pulled.
"Of course he's still out there, he isn't the type to just die like that. If we just wait, he will naturally show up."
Nicole's lip was trembling.
"But... but... what if he's in trouble?"
Kairos coughed awkwardly and gave a weak wave.
"Uh, hello."
Chase looked up with a bit of surprise.
"Oh, hey you're back."
Kairos nodded.
"Yeah."
Nicole was frozen on the spot when she initially saw him. Then moments later, she uncontrollably broke out into tears. She slipped out of Chase's grasp before running towards him.
At that moment, Chase furrowed his brows and looked down at his own hand.
"Eh?"
Kairos let out a sigh and gave a small wave.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. You can calm down now."
