"Oh, you're back, Rocky," Riva called out, her voice light with an energy Rocky hadn't seen in her for months. She leaned casually against the wall, her breath still slightly quickened from her playful chase with Baby Chun, as she smiled lightly looking at her little brother.
Rocky stepped further into the room, a warm smile tugging at his lips. "Yeah, I'm back. Looks like you've been busy."
Riva chuckled, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "Busy? You could say that."
Hearing her response, Rocky couldn't help but stare, taking in the sight of his sister—laughing, moving with a lightness he hadn't seen since before...everything that happened with the Olympians.
His heart swelled with relief and joy, the worry that had been gnawing at him for so long finally starting to ease as he felt a knot in his heart unraveling.
