As the night progressed, Shinon meticulously gathered his equipment. His mind was focused, his determination unwavering.
As Shinon carefully selected his gear, laying out his weapons and tools, Kira entered the room, her expression filled with concern. She watched him silently for a moment before finally speaking up.
"Shinon, are you sure about this?" Kira voiced her concerns. "The bandits are dangerous, and going after them alone... it's too risky."
Shinon glanced up from his task, his eyes meeting Kira's with determination and reassurance.
"I've thought this through, Kira," he replied firmly. "I can't let Selena suffer at the hands of those bandits. She needs our help, and I won't abandon her."
Kira's brows furrowed, her concern deepening. "But what if something happens to you? Rico just woke up, and he needs you here. You don't have to leave! She chose the Phoenixes over you, remember? So the Phoenixes can find another way to save her."
