138 Journey Continues! (1)

Eren guided Diana through the winding streets of the capital, navigating the bustling marketplace until they arrived at the dwelling of Selena's uncle, where they were to be accommodated for a while.

Approaching the door, Eren couldn't shake the unease that had settled in his chest. He recognized the importance of introducing Diana to his friends, but he was acutely aware of the intricate complexities and potential perils this situation presented. Uncertainty gripped him.
