After a long and silent car drive with a titan squeezing everyone, they get home
"Alright, get out, I'm tired" Carry gets out
"OH THANK GOD" Putty jumps out of the car
"Oh, it feels so good to stretch after fitting in that tiny thing" Troy does literal lunges
"Well it's not my fault you're 7 foot tall" Carry unlocks the door to the house
Kyron gets out of the car, following Carry
"I'm f*cking tired" Mar yawns
"Me too, me too" Putty rubs his eyes
Carry locks her car
"Hey, you guys want me to head inside with you? I'm totally fine staying out here for the night" Troy asks
"I would say yes but-" Mar starts to say
"No" Kyron goes inside
"Alright" Troy sits outside, closing his eyes
"Hey, you want me to bring you a blanket or something?" Putty asks
"No, thanks though" Troy smiles
"You sure?" Putty asks
"Yeah, I'm sure, really appreciate the offer though" Troy nods
"Alright, anything I can get you, at all?" Putty asks
"I'm good" Troy answers
"Time to get some shut-eye" Mar goes inside
"Alright, night bud" Putty waves, following Mar
"I wonder where Yami ended up...oh god I hope she didn't end up in China, she's a tough girl, she can get through a lot, yeah, she outlasted you, she's tough, kinda sad nobody else wanted to come though...can't worry about that right now, we've just gotta get some shut-eye, right?" Troy talks to himself
"I like how I expect people to talk back to me when I'm alone" Troy chuckles
He closes his eyes
"...Oh sh*t" Troy quickly opens his eyes
"Do you think she stayed with Yami? Oh god, please tell me that she's not gone for good, no, no, no, why haven't I thought of that? What if she's stuck up there, just in an awkward position, I hope she's okay, maybe I should start looking for her, and ask...Good god I sound like a worried mom" Troy shakes his head
"You lost someone?" Kyron asks, coming out
"Yeah, I did-you were listening through the door, weren't you?" Troy asks
"Right, you said her name was Yami?" Kyron sits beside him
"Yeah, she's been my friend for 700 years now" Troy chuckles
"You got any idea where she is?" Kyron asks
"Not really, to be honest" Troy sighs
"What's she look like?" Kyron asks
"...Why do you care about my problems?" Troy asks
"Well, I know your pain" Kyron explains
"What was her name?" Troy asks
Kyron looks down
"Hey, we're in the same hellhole, alright?" Troy puts his arm around Kyron
"...Lila...her name was Lila" Kyron explains
"I'm sure Lila was a fantastic person" Troy smiles
"Yeah, she...really was" Kyron stares at the floor
Troy stares at the sky
The moon sets as the sun rises
