Chapter: 2521

In the Central Square of Severig's capital...

A weather alert had drawn crowds to the usually open square.

The children on the lawn played together, filling the square with vibrant energy and life.

Rachel spotted a wooden chair nearby and sat down. Glancing at Alberto next to her, she tugged at his sleeve and said, "Sit down. I'm tired."

Watching her tug at his sleeve, Alberto took her hand and sat beside her. Through their touch, he distinctly felt the slight chill in Rachel's skin.
