Location:- Yuuta Apartment
Place:- Living Room
Yuuta sat silently on the old sofa, his back resting against the cushions while the apartment remained wrapped in complete silence.
Beside him, Elena had already fallen asleep.
Her tiny body leaned against his side, her silver hair spilling across his arm while her small hands still clutched the edge of his shirt, as though even in her dreams she feared he might disappear again.
After everything she had endured today, exhaustion had finally claimed the little dragon.
The meal Yuuta had cooked for her had filled her empty stomach, and for the first time since the nightmare began, her breathing became calm and peaceful.
Yuuta gently brushed a loose strand of silver hair away from her face before quietly covering her with a blanket. A faint smile appeared on his lips for only a brief moment.
Seeing Elena sleeping peacefully should have brought him comfort, yet his own heart refused to settle.
