Everyone’s Future…

It was a few hours after the battle.

After ensuring that Sei was alright and resting, Malachi started to leave the bedroom to retrieve a very important family member.

He smiled wryly, already knowing who they were and what they wanted.

"Girls… I promise I'm fine, I'm just going to go and get Cami."

"We're going to come with you." Luna said.

At her side, Joanne nodded in agreement.

Malachi didn't seem to even consider telling them no, and smiled at the fact that they didn't seem interested in taking no for an answer anyway.

He wrapped his arms around the waists of both women and together the three of them sank into the shadows on the floor.

As the three of them fell through Mal's dark domain, he was the first to speak.

"…I'm sorry."
