Alex emerged from pulsating black and white, having arrived at his destination.
He glanced toward the window to find Nadia asleep at the table with the papers she was writing on placed beside her.
Seeing her in such a peaceful state reminded him of a certain beauty back on Earth.
She would always overwork whenever he went out on missions, trying her hardest to ensure everything was okay whenever he came back.
He had caught her quite a few times dozing off in such a manner.
Thinking back now, Alex wondered if he had acknowledged her efforts enough.
"If I am successful here… I'll get a chance to spend all the time in the world with her and our little troublemaker."
With a gentle smile tugging at the corner of his lips, Alex once again reminded himself of why he was in Eventide.
Letting out a sigh, he walked over to the table side and gently picked up Nadia before tucking her into bed.
