"Alright, alright..." Priscilla chuckled. "Michael is back."
Mika froze, her expression shifting to one of utter disbelief. "Really?!"
"Yes! That energetic boy, Tyson, was so thrilled he's hosting a party this very evening!"
"Tonight?! But... to reach the first district, it will take at least four hours, even with my private plane."
"Precisely why I'm here, my dear," Priscilla explained. "I know you're focused on establishing order in the Third District, but it would be lovely if you could attend the celebration."
"Okay... I will go, but only if you come with me!" Mika declared, her eyes pleading.
"This child is so endearing!" Priscilla said, gently pinching Mika's cheeks.
"Of course, I will accompany you." Her warm smile radiated affection.
