A wave of laughter rippled through the group.
Their bellies shook with amusement, the tension melting away under the moment.
Delvin grinned, letting the humor settle before continuing.
"And this cute friend of mine? She's Anna."

"We both turned out to be the last survivors of the invasion on Plagatoscal City."
Anna's expression softened, grateful for the acknowledgment. Though Plagatoscal City held painful memories, she refused to shrink into them, maintaining a grin.
"Well, lastly but not least, this is General Galvan Demeon—the owner of this base." He gestured toward the man, a respectful nod passing between them.
