— Vayrënna, Kaelith, and Lyaris. I know this must have been difficult to witness… They have been your friends since birth, and I understand how much they mean to you. — I took a deep breath before continuing, with my expression serious and sincere.
— I want to apologize for what I did, but it was necessary. I hope you understand and hold no resentment.
Vayrënna glanced at the other two before letting out a heavy sigh.
— Sigh… it's fine. — Her voice carried a tone of resignation as her gaze turned to Kaelan and Rydian, still unconscious on the ground.
For a moment, an uncomfortable silence filled the air.
— In the end… this was necessary. — She crossed her arms, averting her eyes.
— If not for this, they could have ended up getting hurt even more in the future.
The seriousness in her voice dispelled any doubt.
— So, you don't need to worry. We won't hold a grudge.
Realizing they were speaking the truth, I felt an unexpected sense of relief.
