Summary: Krel knew his sister needed to go back home but it didn't make it any easier to let her go. Douxie ruins his phone and goes to visit Krel.

Vervatos. Aja. Mamma and Papa. Mother, they've all left me. I know Aja and Vervatos had to leave but it doesn't make it any easier being alone. Sure I have Lucy and Ricky but they're just blanks and can't comprehend emotions like love and loss.

I have experienced so many losses and now have to deal with them alone, I could call Aja but I don't want to burden her with my troubles, she's the queen of Akiridion 5 and has enough on her plate already.

I walked through the fire place and into the mother ship, the halls echoing as I walked through the hollow corridors. I always found sitting on the main deck and watching a live stream from the streets of Akiridion 5 from afar was the closest i can get to comfort.

It was nice sitting on the cool floor and watching the bright blue streets, I wrapped al four of my arms around me and felt the first warm tear trickle slowly down my cheek. I rarely leaked, I mean cried, but right now it felt right to let it out. A small, sad smile crept its way onto my face as I rested my chin on the knees.

I paced around the front of Stuart's electronic store trying to think of how I could fix my phone, I had dropped while chasing a rogue gnome through the streets of Arcadia. Stuart couldn't fix it and neither could Zoe which was rather surprising, I think she's still mad about when I shot her down when she asked me out.

Stuart offered an old Nokia flip phone but I don't even know how to turn it on anymore, I didn't want to buy a new one just yet. Now there's only one person who can help and I've been meaning to go see him anyway. Krel's been acting a little distant lately and I wanted to make sure that he's okay.

I waved goodbye to Stuart and Archie, Arch thought I should go see Krel alone, and walked out of the electric store. On my way to see Krel I couldn't keep my mind from wondering why I didn't say yes to Zoe's offer. She's been my friend for a few centuries now and probably would have been a good choice, but my mind always wondered in a different direction.

The exact direction I was walking actually. Krel. He is sweet, intelligent, handsome, dorky, and is actually a few hundred earth years old. Not too long ago I had a conversation with Krel about our age and he explained how time works differently on Akiridion 5, so even though he's only 17 there he's roughly 436 years old here.

I quickly reached the mother ship and knocked on the door. I heard a click from the other side and Lucy opened the door with a blank expression (hahah get it ), when she realised it was me a wide smile grew on her face, she swung open the door and embraced me. Honestly I couldn't breath, I was able to choke out a "hello Lucy" before I pushed out of her grasp in order to breath.

"Why hello young fellow, what brings you to these parts-par-parts! Need new parts for your automobile? Come down to the nearest..." Lucy spoke enthusiastically, I just ignored her as she finished her monologue and walked inside with her. I looked around for Krel but I couldn't see him anywhere. The fire place begun to rattle until it eventually dropped revealing Ricky.

"Mr. Blank" I said reaching out my hand to shake his, I found it interesting to see the blanks expressions when you treat them like organic beings... it's interesting.

"Why hello! What brings you here young man?" He asked shaking my hand rigorously.

"I'm looking for Krel, have you seen him?" I asked Ricky after he let go of my hand, I brought it into my other one rubbing it a little, he had a hell of a grip.
