‎"Kael, you're getting soft," Elian said, his eyes glinting with mischief. "I've never seen you love someone before."

‎

‎Kael's face darkened, his jaw clenched in a mixture of anger and embarrassment. "Shut up, Elian," he growled, his voice low and menacing.

‎

‎But Elian just chuckled, his eyes never leaving Kael's face. "I'm serious, Kael. You're changing. And I'm not sure it's for the better."

‎Lyra's eyes flashed with anger, her voice rising in defense of Kael. "That's not fair, Elian. Kael's still the same person he's always been."

‎

‎Elian's gaze shifted to Lyra, his expression softening slightly. "I'm not trying to hurt Kael's feelings, Lyra. I'm just stating the obvious. He's never been in love before. And it's changing him."

‎Lyra's eyes narrowed, her expression skeptical. "What do you mean?"

‎

‎Zain's gaze shifted to Kael, her eyes filled with a warm smile. "Kael's always been driven by his sense of duty and responsibility. But now, he's starting to realize that there's more to life than just following orders."

‎Kael's face darkened, his eyes flashing with anger. But Zain's words struck a chord, and he felt a pang of recognition. Maybe Zain was right. Maybe he was changing.

‎

‎The room fell silent, the tension between the four of them palpable. But as they stood there, locked in a silent standoff, Lyra felt a sense of unease creeping over her. She knew that they couldn't stay hidden forever.

‎

‎The Architect was out there, watching and waiting. And Lyra knew that it was only a matter of time before they made their move...
