Connection

Khan and Jenna wore the clothes brought by the boy. The Nele didn't seem to care about appearances in the settlement, so the two ended up with similar baggy dark jumpers and flexible trousers.

The quality of the clothes was nowhere near what Luke had given to Khan. The jumper's rough fabric scratched his skin, but he didn't mind that. He had worn far worse in the Slums. Besides, everything felt quite comfortable even if it was clearly cheap.

Khan had developed the habit of planning schedules, especially for his training, but Jenna didn't give him the time to think. As soon as they finished dressing up, she took his hand and led him across the woods to return to the main path.

A surprising and slightly heartwarming sight unfolded in Khan's vision when he reached the main path. The settlement had a relatively large circular square at its center, and multiple Nele gathered there to have their breakfast.
