On the gadget screen Lein was holding, news from social media kept scrolling. He observed various posts with a calm expression, though occasionally his eyes narrowed, indicating he was processing something. As a Guardian, he often forgot how the simple lives of ordinary people unfolded in the digital world. But this morning, he chose to enjoy the moment.
"Here you go, Brother," Nita offered a piece of bread she had carefully spread with jam.
"Thank you." Lein took it, biting the edge of the bread slowly.
Under the warm morning sun, the two of them savored this moment of togetherness. There was no heavy conversation, only a comfortable silence. They were both used to starting their mornings this way, enjoying a brief respite before a busy day began.
