A Warm Welcome Part Two

The White Comets had all settled into the sleek, black guild transports that were waiting for them. The hover vehicle was built for speed, cutting through the bustling streets of Megacity I with ease.

At the back seats of the transport sat Ren, his team, Yuuto, and Lady Aiko, while the other hover transport trailing behind carried the guild's healers and support staff.

Inside, there was silence. It wasn't the peaceful kind, but the heavy, suffocating kind that lingered after a long, exhausting battle. Everyone seemed lost in their thoughts, replaying the chaos they had just survived.

Yuuto, choosing to lighten the mood, cleared his throat. The sound, though soft, echoed in the quiet space, drawing a few eyes his way. His expression was casual, almost amused, as if he was trying to brush away the tension.

The way he acted seemed to hint that this silence was caused by something other than exhaustion.
