The first thing Cain saw was Senior Luna running toward him.
Without any warning, the girl wrapped both her arms around his back, hugging him tightly.
However, instead of comfort or warmth, what Cain felt was weight, pressure, caused by the hard armour suit Luna was wearing.
He gently patted her side, causing her to loosen her grip. Luna stepped back, finally realizing what she had done.
From behind her visor, Cain could clearly see the flush on her cheeks, but it vanished the moment Luna shook her head lightly and asked.
"Are you alright?"
Her blue eyes scanned Cain from head to toe. She lightly patted her own chest and let out a short breath of relief when she saw no visible injuries on him.
Cain nodded, straightened his posture, and replied calmly,
"As you can see. I'm fine."
"I'm glad."
Just after Senior Luna said that, hurried footsteps echoed from behind. The source was Cain's four teammates, who ran over and came to a stop.
