Inside Javier's mind—
I need to clean this mess up fast.
If this keeps spreading… more people will suffer. More families torn apart.
He grit his teeth, planting another white ore device, a burst of purifying light radiating outward.
Damn it… If only Liana and Gloria were here.
With them, he could focus, plan, move smoother. They always knew how to handle what he missed.
His fingers moved on instinct, drawing out the next device, but his chest tightened.
I really can't live without them around, huh?
A soft memory flickered—Liana's calm voice scolding him with a faint smile, Gloria's warm gaze behind her glasses.
I miss them… I miss their hugs. Their kisses. Their voices.
Javier smiled faintly, kneeling as he planted the small white ore device into the soil. Its gentle glow spread outward, purifying the land as beastkin guards formed a perimeter around him, weapons at the ready.
Liana… Gloria… Finish your training fast, and come with me.
