Bim is absolutely right. They have each other and that's what matters. And in his heart of hearts Salahuddin knows that too, he's just a bit insecure since he didn't exactly plan their life the way it ended up being.

Welcome to the main story as well! This one is a bit complicated; Sal is originally from The Bookacy Family Alphabet Adventures (an alphabet legacy challenge), where he's the long-standing bad guy, but the main story that this piece refers to is Villains or Heroes?, which is an apocalypse challenge founded by Sal. The latter is only a couple of chapters along, and can be read independently, while the former is already quite long (the latest chapter, 40, is a recap).

In any case, thanks again for reading and commenting! :)
