"Alex!"
Mira dashed through the crowd, straight towards Alex who was rapidly approaching the spaceport.
Any feelings or thoughts she had about Alex's sudden hanging up were gone — replaced by an intense emotion she had never felt before.
Alex looked up, seeing Mira rushing towards him. She looked as fierce and determined as the last time he saw her, but her eyes softened with concern as she took in his dishevelled state.
His eyes were a deep red and he had deep black pits under them, as he hadn't slept for over a month.
To normal people, this would be deadly, but D tier awakened like Alex could take it. Although they would still suffer quite a lot, just like Alex.
"Mira…" Alex's voice cracked.
Mira closed the distance between them, wrapping her arms around him tightly.
