The night air was cool and quiet as they walked back through the terminal.
The group—Elysia, Jin, Edwin, and Cecelia—walked side by side, each lost in their own thoughts after the earlier encounter with Kaigaku.
No one spoke much.
The fight between Edwin and Kaigaku had left a strange tension in the air, even though Cecelia had managed to stop it.
Finally, they reached the road that split in four directions, the home junction.
Cecelia. "We should rest. Tomorrow's mission might be tougher."
Elysia nodded. "Yeah… we'll need our energy."
Jin stretched his arms and sighed. "Good night, everyone. Try not to dream about illusions tonight."
Edwin smirked faintly. "Speak for yourself. You're the one who saw illusions."
Jin glared playfully. "Don't remind me."
Elysia smiled, hiding her own unease. "Good night, everyone."
"Good night," Cecelia added.
They each waved before heading down separate paths.

The door creaked open as Elysia entered her house.
