Chapter 33 Thirty Three

• Zion awoke the next morning to the sound of birds chirping outside his window. The sun was filtering through the curtains, casting a warm glow on the room. He stretched and groaned, feeling the stiffness in his muscles but also a sense of renewed strength. The events of the previous day seemed almost like a dream, yet the lingering ache in his body was a stark reminder of the reality he faced.
• As he got out of bed, he noticed a note on the bedside table. It was from Sagittarius, informing him that breakfast would be ready soon and that they had planned a meeting to discuss their next steps. Zion folded the note with a sigh, mentally preparing himself for whatever lay ahead.
• When he arrived at the dining area, Asahi and Sagittarius were already there, engaged in a quiet conversation. They looked up as Zion entered, their expressions a mix of relief and curiosity.
