☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Kalina Mellis possessed a certain sternness of character – this was well known to anyone who knew her, especially before she began her spiritual journey, but the brothers' performance moved her to tears.
- Well, that was wonderful! - She greeted the end of the song with a joyful smile. - And you say it might be inappropriate? - Ikigai primarily requires spiritual balance and harmony with the surrounding world, and form is secondary. You can be proud of yourselves; I really enjoyed it.

— And I did too! Just think, yesterday such a performance seemed unrealistic. — A slightly breathless Garret responds to her with an equally joyful smile.
— Heh, well, of course, we should thank the musicians; they've gathered some talented guys. — Harold nods approvingly at them and Sidonia.

— By the way, Kalina. — Garret suddenly became more serious. — Can I ask you for spiritual advice? If, of course, you have some time. I don't really want to go to the church officials with this, because, well... you understand... The outcome might be predictable.
He waved his hand in a gesture that could be interpreted as a sudden erasure from the plane of existence.
— But I can trust you. Only this... — he hesitated, glancing at the other people present. — I'd like it to be just us, you, me, and Harold. Yes, that includes you too. — he looked at his brother. — If something happens to me, you will be the only one left to ponder this question.
