"You sound more mature, and there's a peaceful look in your eyes… not like the Lucas from a month ago who was so unstable. You've also kept that energy under control," Sandra said, tapping the mark on his arm.
"I see. Well, shall we go meet the others?" Lucas offered his hand, and Sandra took it without hesitation.
They walked hand in hand until others began to notice them, gradually gathering around.
"Are you alright now?" Jerry asked, his tone serious. He was still on guard, and Lucas could sense it, but the concern in Jerry's voice made him feel reassured.
"Yeah, I've vented my frustrations. You don't need to worry. I'm okay now," Lucas said, hugging Jerry.
Despite his initial wariness, Jerry couldn't help but feel lighter when Lucas embraced him.
"AGHH!! You really scared me there, pal. I thought we'd lost you for a moment!" Jerry shouted, lifting Lucas off the ground.
