I Truly Feel Alive

Lily looked at Lucius, seated beside her, and felt a sense of security wash over her. Ever since the vivid dream and recalling the toy he had given her in her younger years, the memory has never left her.

She had never mustered the courage to express her gratitude for standing by her side in her darkest hour.

When she arrived at the city and headed to the crafting district, Lily put on a fake front, showing she was strong.

And there, amidst the bustling crowd, she spotted him—Lucius. He had aged a few years, yet his appearance was unmistakable.

Feeling a mix of excitement and confusion about how to greet him, she considered just attacking him. After all, this place had a barrier, and she figured he would be safe. "So what if he gets scared because of my action? This is who I am," she thought.
