461 Arlo on the Move!

Ethan's friends had also fallen victim to the gruesome creatures, their bodies sliced apart in front of him.

Paralyzed by fear and overcome with a sense of helplessness, Ethan was compelled to flee for his life, leaving his friends to their grim fate, the bloodcurdling screams of agony ringing in his ears even as he ran.

"I-I am sorry!"

Overwhelmed by guilt and disappointment in himself for abandoning his friends, Ethan's tears flowed freely as he struggled to process the trauma he had just experienced, and he repeatedly begged for forgiveness as if he had done something wrong.

It was then that Arlo offered a reassuring pat on his head and spoke words of encouragement, "You don't need to be sorry. You did nothing wrong."

"Thank you for being brave and speaking up about the matter!" Roy said to the crying boy.
