Back at her apartment, Rain sat at her desk, attempting to focus on work, but her thoughts spiraled out of control. Khali's sudden appearance was like a storm, and Rain couldn’t shake the unease it brought. What did her return mean for Lucan? For Khai? For her?
Her eyes wandered to the corner of the room where Waddles the Penguin, the stuffed toy Khai had gifted her, sat perched on the shelf. A bittersweet smile tugged at her lips as she reached for it, hugging the soft toy close.
The comforting memory of Khai's laugh when she’d handed over the stuffed animal during one of their happier days briefly warmed her heart. But the warmth was fleeting, replaced by the cold truth of what she’d learned.
Rain whispered to herself, “Khai...what am I supposed to do?”
She was struggling to reconcile the woman she loved with the person responsible for so much pain. Rain felt torn, but Waddles was a small solace, a reminder of the love they shared, even in the face of devastating truths.
Rain closed her eyes, wishing for a moment of clarity—because with Khali’s reappearance and the storm brewing around Stanton Corporation, her world felt more uncertain than ever.
