While Fleur was struggling, Thaddeus woke up and took her hand, calming her down. He then looked at Arix and said, "If you want to go, you can. But you must stay safe. If not, I can still stop you from continuing."
Seeing her father agree, Arix knew Fleur wouldn't be far behind, so she happily nodded.
Watching Arix's excitement, Thaddeus felt a wave of happiness, though he also had a reason to cry. He glanced down at Fleur's hand pinching his waist and forced a smile at her.
Fleur looked at her silly husband, sighed, and let go. Arix then hugged and comforted her for a long time until she felt better.
Once the tension eased, Thaddeus raised his eyebrows and secretly gave Arix a thumbs-up.
Arix winked playfully but then noticed the black cat on Thaddeus's shoulder and asked in surprise, "Dad, is this Phantom?"
Everyone turned to look at the cat. After a moment, Matis was the first to exclaim, "She's really revived. Amazing."
