A cute little bat fluttered across the sky, her tiny wings gracefully slicing through the clouds. She spun left and right with a cheerful sway, as if dancing with the clouds, her round little face lit up with an innocent, joyful expression.
"Haha... it's been so long since I've played with him like that... haha..." she laughed softly to herself, her voice filled with warmth. "I'm so relieved he's still the same… still my Aether... my same Aether~"
The bat—of course, it was Lia—murmured the words in a happy tone, almost like singing to herself as the stars above twinkled. Her chest felt light, her heart fluttering almost in rhythm with her wings.
Her eyes were brimming with happiness.
Honestly, she never thought today would even happen. A part of her always feared it wouldn't. And yet… it did. Against all odds.
