Their last morning in the old city arrived with soft, golden light.
Sunlight slowly streamed into the library through the large windows that had become Aurelia's favorite spot over the past few days.
The light swept across the stone floor, the rows of old books, and the long table where they had spent hours reading through archives and letters left behind from the past.
The day of departure had finally come.
The entity beside Aurelia moved gently.
Its lines of light pulsed steadily, following the calm rhythm of its core.
The units stationed at the back maintained their network connection.
Aurelia opened her eyes slowly.
For a few seconds, she simply lay still.
Savoring the morning atmosphere.
Savoring the silence.
Because she knew...
Tomorrow morning would not be like this.
Tomorrow, they would be somewhere else.
Continuing their journey.
Facing things yet unknown.
And even though she was ready for that...
