While the others continued to argue and discuss the recent battle, Alexa quietly walked over to where Dayanara was sitting.
"You okay?" Alexa asked softly.
Dayanara blinked at the question, slightly confused, then gave a small smile. "I should be the one asking you that, Ms. Alexa."
Alexa tilted her head. "I noticed you seem… troubled? Why is that?"
Dayanara's eyes shifted away, as if trying to hide something, but then she sighed and glanced over her shoulder. Not far behind her, Kyla and two other guild members were resting with tired faces.
"I lost almost all of my guild members," Dayanara said, her voice low. "If only I was strong enough—"
Before she could finish, Alexa stepped forward and placed her hands firmly on Dayanara's shoulders, shaking her head.
"Don't say that. They're probably proud that your guild made it to this stage. I'm actually quite impressed."
Dayanara gave a small laugh. "What makes you impressed with us?"
