"Let's head back."
Zhuge Yun smiled at the two children and Child's Mom.
The elevator doors slowly closed.
Child's Mom rested her hands on the children's shoulders and smiled at the young men inside the elevator.
Only after the elevator doors had fully shut did Zhuge Yun and the others stop waving.
