Epilogue (3)

After they chatted for a bit more about lighter things, they went their separate ways. Iris thought to visit Kyro for a moment, but he was in a meeting, so she sent him a message and left for home.

There were a dozen things she could do in the city, but she didn't feel too comfortable walking alone. Although Gale promised that no one would come for her again, she didn't want to risk it too much.

Once she returned to Kyro's parents' home, she was welcomed by Mila . The girl was dressed in a bright yellow dress and looked like a butterfly in winter. Her grandma ran after her, unable to let Mila out of her sight.

Iris received a perfunctory greeting, and the pair left to busy themselves with something. In the house, father was sitting by himself near the window and looking outside. Iris greeted him, and he asked her about the outing, if everything went well.
