Kai's heart leaped as he spotted his sister in the crowd. Her eyes widened with joy and surprise as she recognized him. They ran towards each other, and he could feel her warm embrace, something he hadn't felt since the day she was taken by the academy. "Kai!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement and relief.
"You're okay," Kai whispered, his eyes scanning her to make sure she was healthy. Her cheeks were rosy, and she was smiling, something that had been a rare sight when he had last seen her.
"I am," she said, her voice filled with excitement. "Thanks to you."
Her words hit Kai like a gust of wind, reminding him of the promise he had made to her. "I'm so proud of you," she whispered, her eyes sparkling with joy.
