Kai, on the other hand, isn’t paying much attention at all to his surroundings, lost in his thoughts and, it’s fair to say, his own despair. He’s hung on every word of a dragon attack, thinking that at least Ryoji is probably okay, in a way he wouldn’t have been otherwise.

There’s no one else in the garden right now that he can see, and so Kai allows himself of the luxury of a long sigh out.
