Or do you intend to keep things as they are, letting it persist forever?"
Kael shook his head and said, "That's impossible."
The old president smiled even more happily and said, "Congratulations, you've taken another step forward."
Kael gave a gentle smile, and the old president's expression also slightly restrained, asking, "Alright, it seems you've opened your heart. So, why did you come to see me at this late hour?"
Kael hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he chose to speak: "Actually, at tomorrow's evening party, I'd like to have a segment..."
...
Kael returned to his senses, and his gaze was once again captured by Elanna's face.
And for Elanna, it was indeed the same.
