#A/N - "I don't know what I'm writing, my head feels like it's spinning, I want to rest today, but I want to finish this [vacation] arc quickly and return to Earth soon"
--------
After everything that happened, the battle, the transformation, and the heavy need to prove himself, Aksara was exhausted.
Taufik understood. He didn't rush him.
Instead, he gave his son time to rest. Time to breathe. The toll on Aksara's body and spirit was clear. Even someone as strong as him needed a moment to recover. And this is also not on Earth, so Aksara couldn't utilize his full power.
They stayed on the island for a little while longer.
Just enough to let the quiet return. Just enough for the wind to lose its edge and the sky to soften.
No more battles. No more shouting.
Only the sound of waves and the feeling of being alive.
When Aksara was finally able to stand without shaking when he smiled, even just a little, Taufik knew it was time.
They looked to the north.
