The father-son reunion was just as heartwarming as one would expect. Leon firmly embraced his father, shedding his exterior of an inexhaustible hero who always stood at the frontlines. Before his father, the rock gave Leon his foundation; the mentor who taught him how to be a man. Leon could only revert to his childhood state.
"Dad…"
"Leon, my son…"
Lucas returned Leon's embrace tightly, as if he were holding a treasure that he would never let go. His once thick arms had been drained, and his tension-filled body was now finally relaxing.
How long has he waited for this moment?
Even though it pained his heart, Lucas was forced to send his son away when he was a mere child. Lucas was resolved to die for his sins, to free his son from the atonement he sought. No child should ever carry the burden of their parents.
