After successfully calming Luna down, Elias collapsed onto the couch with a heavy sigh, the day's events weighing on him visibly.
Luna, quick to notice his fatigue, voiced her concern with a tender, "Bro, you feeling okay?"
Elias responded with a comforting smile and a gentle pat on her head, "I'm fine, just got a lot on my mind, that's all."
Luna's big, puzzled blue eyes widened as she probed further, "Thinking about… some things?"
Elias offered her a smile, opting to keep the specifics to himself. He was lost in a sea of nostalgia, reflecting on the journey that led him here.
That moment of reining Luna in sparked a sense of déjà vu. He vividly recalled the chaos of being chased by Luna when he first arrived in this new world.
It was only now, in this quiet moment, that he realized the full extent of his transformation.
From an outsider filled with fear and resistance to someone who truly felt at home.
