His aura was completely suppressed. It almost felt as though he had erased his presence entirely, vanishing from my senses.
"I'm back."
When I turned, I saw him. Zephyrus was...
Wow.
"Z-Zephy?!"
He had grown up.
And...
He was taller than me?!
"HUH?!"
I nearly had a heart attack.
How could this even be possible?!
I couldn't believe it!
