After a quick shower, Kael stepped out, feeling somewhat better despite the aches in his body. The remnants of the demon heart's power still lingered, making his body feel heavy and unsteady, but the discomfort was bearable for now. As he dressed, he couldn't help but glance back at his sister still peacefully sleeping. It was strange how much their roles had changed. Not long ago, they were both trapped in the shadows of their pasts, struggling to survive in a world that seemed to demand too much. Now, things had shifted, and Kael's life had become one of strange new responsibilities and burdens.
He sighed softly, but the thought of his sister brought a sense of warmth and purpose. No matter how things had changed, he knew he'd always protect her. That thought gave him some measure of peace, even if the future remained uncertain.
