With that, she entered her small world.
Inside, Amalia appeared in front of a thatched hut.
A little girl with two pigtails, holding a broom taller than herself, was struggling to sweep the courtyard.
She had her back to Amalia and hadn't noticed her arrival.
The little girl was Sofia, the younger sister of Javier.
She was only five years old, while Javier, though appearing mature, was merely ten.
Their parents had been killed by aliens.
With a sudden thud, Sofia turned around, startled at the sight of Amalia.
The broom slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground.
Recognizing Amalia, Sofia immediately turned around and dashed into the hut, shouting, "Brother, the great hero is here!"
Great hero?
Amalia froze for a moment before realizing the little girl was referring to her.
Moments later, Javier rushed out, his eyes lighting up at the sight of Amalia.
