"I-I am Lian, Lian Veyr… a pleasure to meet you, Headmaster!" His head was completely bowed as he paid his respects, his voice trembling with nervous deference.
"Lian, eh? Nice name! Your parents must have raised you very well." The headmaster's tone warm and approving.
The moment he said those words, Lian immediately remembered them! A flood of guilt crashing over him.
His eyes widened. "My parents! How are they? Do they know I am alive?!" His voice urgent and pleading.
I cannot believe it- am I also a shitty son now? Did I really forget to contact them? That should have been the first thing to do! And instead? Coming out of the Gate, I thought about Sera and Seline… I am truly a mess- His thoughts spiraling in self-reproach.
"Do not worry, they have been informed. They are on their way; they will be here by tomorrow." The headmaster's words a soothing balm.
Lian sighed as he listened to the headmaster's reassuring words, relief flooding his chest.
