episode 7.
9:00 AM. A heavy silence filled the room. Suddenly, an object crashed through the window—a bomb. Shock paralyzed them both. Ariya lunged forward, grabbing the device to hurl it back outside, but it exploded mid-air. The force of the blast and the searing flames threw Ariya backward, sending him crashing into the room. He fell unconscious instantly.
Luni didn't freeze. She grabbed a blanket, wrapped Ariya tightly to shield him from the spreading fire, and dragged him toward the back balcony. Peering over the edge, she screamed with all her might, "Someone help us! There's a fire! Please, help!"
From below the balcony, **Nashito** appeared. He rushed in and somehow managed to get both Ariya and Luni out of the burning building, taking them back to his house. There, Nashito and his grandmother carefully cleaned Ariya's wounds with water. Seeing Luni's tear-filled eyes, the grandmother comforted her, "Dear, he will be fine. We must thank the heavens above that he wasn't more severely injured."
Late that night, Luni sat outside in the biting cold. Nashito sat beside her and said softly, "Ariya is awake."
Luni sprinted inside. Ariya looked at her, struggling to sit up. In a weak, shaky voice, he whispered, "L... Luni... are you alright?"
Luni sat by his side. "Yes, I'm okay. Are you?"
Ariya's worry turned into frustration. "I told you... I told you not to help me! If something had happened to you, who would have been responsible for that?"
Luni looked at him and replied softly, "I know. I don't even know why I want to help you so much... but I want to go back to my world. I want to see my parents again, just one more time."
