Little Zami's eyes widened in surprise, her tiny form frozen for a moment as she tried to make sense of what she'd just been told. The words hung in the air, and for a second, she didn't know how to react. Mira watched her closely, feeling a wave of empathy wash over her.
After all, Zami was just a child, and the revelation she had just received was a lot to process. Naturally, her reaction was exactly what Mira expected. At only five years old, the world felt like a big, confusing place, and this moment, with all its excitement and mystery, was just another part of that.
"Mommy, is that why he came for my birthday? To surprise me?" Zami asked, her voice full of wonder and innocence, as if she was trying to piece it all together in her little head.
