Motion Motion

In the span of a heartbeat, the room exploded into motion. Satoshi barely had time to register what was happening before the rush of footsteps filled the air. His parents, Ayumu and Tatsuki, reached him first, their arms wrapping tightly around him as if afraid that he might disappear again. Ayumu's tears streamed down her face, her quiet sobs muffled against his chest. Tatsuki held him just as fiercely, his hands trembling as he squeezed his son's shoulders, silent but overwhelmed.

Behind them, the others followed suit. Emma, with her calm exterior finally cracking, approached with misty eyes. She placed a hand on his shoulder, giving it a reassuring squeeze before stepping back, letting Lucy and Bucky come forward. Lucy, her usually composed demeanor faltering, threw her arms around Satoshi without hesitation. Her hug was tight, almost desperate, and Satoshi felt the weight of her relief in the way her body trembled against him.
