The morning sun filtered through the windows, casting a warm glow on the dining table where Leo, Lara, and Liliana sat for breakfast. The previous day's confrontation with the Church of Luminance still lingered in the air, leaving an unspoken tension that weighed heavily on their minds.
Lara, her gaze filled with concern, turned her attention to Leo and asked, "Leo, are you all right after what happened yesterday?" Her voice carried a touch of empathy, as she believed that his actions were driven by selfless love and concern for their safety.
Leo, his demeanor casual, gave a nonchalant shrug. "I'm doing okay," he replied, as if downplaying the significance of the encounter. His true motivations were hidden beneath a carefully constructed facade, one that concealed his true identity from the Church.
Liliana, seated beside them, observed the exchange with keen interest but said nothing, aware of the complexity of the situation.
