The night had not yet fully retreated. But dawn was already on its way. A faint golden light had begun to creep over the horizon, gently driving away the darkness that still clung to the world.
The sky above the Smith Villa was painted in soft shades of blue and violet, calm and peaceful.

Their foundations were stable, their auras far more solid than before.
