I smiled as I entered the underground shelter beneath Milo's house. Anis was playing with her cousin Azami and the other kids. She snuggled Opus tightly.
I gently set Kisara's kids down next to Azami and Anis, watching as they quickly joined in the play. Their laughter filled the room, a joyful sound that contrasted sharply with the tension outside.
My baby lowered her plushie and turned to look at me. "Da!"
I knelt down and picked her up. "Hey, there, Princess. Been keeping everyone entertained, huh?"
Anis giggled, the sound like a melody that filled the room with warmth. Her tiny arms wrapped around my neck as I lifted her, her joy a comforting balm amidst the uncertainty surrounding us.
"Opus!"
I chuckled as I glanced at the plushie in her hand. "I bet Opus is having a great time with you."
