Kimberly and Alpha Theo were in the living room, enjoying one another's company.
Their conversation flowed easily, touching on topics both lighthearted and profound.
"Freedom is so important. I can't even remember the last time I felt this free," Kimberly said, her voice laced with a sense of relief.
Alpha Theo smiled warmly. "It's wonderful to finally have you here. Right now, I feel a calmness I've never known before."
As they talked, a guard entered the room, his expression serious.
"What is it?" Alpha Theo asked, his tone shifting to one of authority.
"We've received news about Alpha Darwin. He was in an accident and has been admitted to the City-County Hospital," the guard said evenly.
Kimberly sprang to her feet. "What? Where is he? Which hospital?" she asked, her voice trembling with concern.
"City-County Hospital," the guard repeated, bowing his head before leaving the room.
