Ciel knelt in the snow, taking Lexie's trembling hand firmly in his own.
She looked up at him with a faint smile that failed to reach her hollow eyes, her voice dropping into a soft, fragile whisper. "I'll go with you, Ciel. I'll do my best to help you find your parents. Don't worry."
Despite her words, a dark thread of uncertainty lingered deep within her heart. She wondered bitterly if her broken body could ever overcome the grueling path ahead .
Isiah glared down at Lexie from a distance, his rage simmering just beneath the surface.
He couldn't fucking believe she had dragged herself through the freezing snow just to satisfy the child's desperate plea. After witnessing her pathetic display, he knew Ciel would refuse to take a single step forward without her.
Isiah growled under his breath, his jaw clenching tight. "You are so fucking stubborn."
