I am finally back home, I make a quick stop at Kai'Sa's apartment knocking on the door. It opens up with her peeking through the side before opening it fully, almost tackling me to the floor with a hug.
I hold her close to me, "Hey, I am back."
"Any luck?"
"None."
She pulls away, "Same here - Dad... well Dad did talk to Angel about it already and said that he couldn't take up the responsibility with his work and he won't be able to take up the role as a Guardian either."
I nod, "I expected that much."
"Sorry..."
"Nothing you can do about it," I tuck my hands in my pockets, "I guess it is just going to boil down to not having anything to do about it, and... we just wait it out. We have a small time before I leave so..." I lift my shoulders.
She steps forward resting her head against my chest, "I don't want you to go... if you want to run-"
"I want to run away, but it doesn't solve anything," I then shut my eyes as I take a deep breath, "You'd be waiting another year instead of a couple of months - and even then it could be longer. We don't really know."

The five of us are sitting at the same overlook Akali was going to use to run away. Jake picked us all up and I have like two days left before Angel leaves and Illiya wants to leave by tomorrow and none of us could come up with anything.
We haven't gotten around to saying a word, we haven't said our goodbyes either. The sun is still barely hanging in the sky with an orange hue.
I have had some time to come to terms with it but it doesn't change much in this situation. I am forced to leave and there is nothing I can do to fight against it. We aren't saying goodbye just yet either - that all happens tomorrow but this is just an attempt to enjoy something together but even then it feels impossible.
Hard to force the words out without sounding negative, hard to not end up crying but it isn't like this is my first time around this same old track.
We all finally get up to leave, I lift myself and hover in place staring at the sun as I mutter to myself with a weak smile, "We are only young."
There is always tomorrow.
But even then...
... it isn't enough.
The lost will stay lost. Forever.
