Their clothes were completely soaked with sweat, clinging to their small bodies. It was clear they had endured intense pain.

He gently took out a clean handkerchief and carefully wiped the clammy sweat from their faces and limbs. Then, silently channeling his spirit energy, he subtly dried their sweat-soaked clothes before settling down to stay by their side, a silent guardian.
