Leon Batton stood up and looked at Lynette Batton when school ended for the day. “I have to train at the base later. You’ll have to find your own way home today,” he told her.

She nodded obediently. “Okay, I’ll go home by myself tonight.”

Then, they bid farewell in front of the school entrance before Leon drove to Team XS’s base. His eyes narrowed when he saw a familiar figure by the road as he drove, prompting him to find a spot to pull over before getting out of his car.
