"Haa..."
Dheera let out a heavy sigh the moment she walked past the wall of trees, looking in yearning at their small paradise from the gap in the door.
"If you're going to be like this, you should have just stayed," Leehan rolled his eyes and lightly bonked the side of the girl's head.
"Hey, it's not that I want to stay behind," Dheera pursed her lips behind her mask. "I'm just sad about leaving the place, okay?"
Leehan glanced at the slowly closing wall as the last of the rearguards exited the dome. "Well...I can relate to that..."
"Right?"
"The next time you see it again," Zein put his arms around both conversing guides, "it'll be either because you're experiencing burnout, or performed an exceptional feat."
A quiet groan came out of the other four guides, and it almost felt like they were back on Trinity compound, during all of the hard training Zein imposed upon the kids.
"That's not fun..."
