Days turned into weeks as Ren and Aira traveled together. She taught him to survive in the wilds and shared stories of her tribe, a mysterious people who lived hidden in the shadows of the mountains. As they journeyed, a bond formed between them, and for the first time since his family's death, Ren felt something other than anger—he felt love.
He hadn't expected it, but he fell for Aira, her kindness and beauty piercing through the darkness in his heart. She made him feel alive again, like maybe there was still something good left in the world. They shared stories of their pasts, their hopes, their dreams. For a time, it felt like there was hope.
