Kyle stepped off the bus. The academy gates standing tall ahead of him.
The afternoon sun stretched long shadows across the cobblestone path. Making the air feel warmer than it was.
A soft breeze rustled the golden leaves scattered across the ground, carrying the faint, crisp scent of autumn.
Everything looked the same. But Kyle felt different.
His mind was still stuck at the hospital. Thinking about Lila's small smile when she held the bracelet. The way her eyes lit up just a little.
Mira had cried. Hugging him tightly before whispering, "Thank you."
And when Seris arrived. The whole mood in the hospital changed.
The doctors moved fast. Transferring Lila to a better room, talking in hushed but hopeful voices.
It was like the moment Seris stepped in, everything shifted.
Kyle let out a long breath and ran a hand through his messy hair.
'Did I really change Mira Farrow's fate?'
He wasn't sure.
The walk back to the academy quarters felt longer than usual.
