Raika, still brimming with adrenaline, turned her attention back to the girl. Her eyes softened as she extended a hand, helping the girl to her feet. The girl's face was a mixture of relief and lingering fear, her cheeks streaked with tears.
"Come on, let's get you out of here," Raika said gently, offering a reassuring smile.
The girl nodded, her body trembling slightly as she took Raika's hand. Raika led her away from the scene, her steps steady and protective. As they moved further away from the fallen bullies, Raika kept a vigilant eye on their surroundings, ensuring they weren't followed or harassed.
The girl clung to Raika's arm, her grip tightening with every step. "Thank you," she whispered, her voice quivering with emotion. "I didn't know what to do…"
Raika gave her a comforting squeeze. "You're safe now. Don't worry."
