Chapter 15 Emotions

• **POV: Danny**
• Danny stood by the window of their high-tech apartment, staring out at the neon-lit cityscape of ExpecArc Circuit. The vibrant lights and bustling streets felt like a world away from the quiet, connected life he had known in Magnifico Arco. Despite his efforts to bring some of that warmth into his new life, he couldn’t shake the feeling of emotional distance growing between him and Eve.
• “Dan, are you okay?” Eve’s voice broke through his thoughts. She was standing in the kitchen, a concerned look on her face.
