For Lucius, the day felt perfect—better than any day he could remember.
His father was alive, his crush not only returned his feelings but had even kissed him, and everything around him was just… right.
What more could he ask for in his ordinary life in his past?
It started to feel as if the Zyronox attack had been nothing more than a terrible nightmare, one he had finally woken up from. He didn't want to let go of this overwhelming sense of peace and happiness.
For the first time in a long while, he felt genuinely happy, and all he could think about was how excited he was to get home and see his father again.
He was thinking of spending time with him, maybe go to the park, or the movies... the thought put a happy smile on his face.
He decided to walk home, even though it was a bit far, just to enjoy the vibrant life in Lumin.
