"Your past self is so proud of you"
THE COUNTERS' TEAM joyfully entered the expansive white room, their cheerful expressions contrasting with the stoic smiles of their Yung counterparts. The overwhelming love and admiration in her parents' eyes filled Thea with immense pride, nearly bringing her to tears.
Not only had she successfully sought vengeance for her parents, but also for Mun. Although a sense of sorrow lingered in her heart, she found comfort in the thought that Mun would have been pleased with her actions, as her parents were now. Consequently, Thea chose to smile without shedding a tear, convinced that her past self would have been proud of the individual she had transformed into.
Hyun-ki gently whispered, "Thea," with a slight grin appearing on his face as he approached her with open arms, to which she eagerly responded to with a long-awaited display of affection "You're incredible. You had no territory, but summoned a level-three evil spirit" Hyun-ki affectionately played with her hair, gracefully stepping aside as Thea's parents came closer to envelop her in a comforting familial hug
"I didn't do it alone. Jeok-bong and Jun-seo helped me" Thea declared, enveloping her brother in a tender embrace while Jeok-bong looked on with a sense of accomplishment. Thea then playfully tapped Jeok-bong on the chest, prompting him to react with a mixture of surprise, placing his hands over his heart before breaking into a shy smile and making peace signs with his hands

"Indeed, our beloved Thea is truly remarkable," exclaimed Thea's father with a smile, as he tenderly reached out to caress the head of his cherished daughter, who blushed with embarrassment where she stood
"Appa..."
"Exactly" Mo-tak concurred, as he walked towards Gi-ran and indicated towards Thea "Thea just doesn't listen, you know? Oops" he continued, gently touching Gi-ran's shoulder and nearly losing his balance in the process
"Mo-tak"
"Yes?"
"I know you encouraged them" Gi-ran exclaimed with a clear expression on her face, despite being fully aware that Mo-tak was attempting to conceal it
"These are some big shoulder pads" Mo-tak casually commented, skillfully redirecting the conversation as he playfully tapped Gi-ran's shoulder pads, causing amusement among the group with his actions
