Its dark outside, and i think i am the only one awake. My eyes just won't shut. I'm staring at the ceiling, and several thoughts are racing in my mind. I start shaking while trying to take in everything that happened the other night. We've been blasted into the human realm by King and we can't go back.. I feel bad for everyone but, i feel safer here.. Now that i'm away from Belos, I can try to be myself. I start to cry. I miss home though, and Darius. Wiping my tears, I get up, trying not to wake up Gus. I search for the restroom. Heading over, i realize the door is closed but the light is on. Before I enter, I knock. "Hello? Its me, Hunter.. Is anyone in there?" I say. I hear sniffles from inside. "Are you okay? Can i come in..?" I ask.
"Yea." they replied. I open the door to see Luz standing there with her eyes watering, face red, and nose stuffy. At the sight of me, she sheds a tear. Before she could speak, I give her a gentle hug, to try to calm her down. She hugs back tightly. "Let it all out." I say, also tearing up a bit. She starts to sob on my shoulder for a good minute. I pat her back, and I keep trying to calm her down. She tries to speak but i can't tell what she is trying to say. She lets go, rubbing her eyes.
"Thank you, Hunter." she spoke."It's no problem." I reply. Now i cant remember why i came up here. But, that doesn't matter. I want everyone to be happy, although I'm not so much myself. "I promise you this, We will get back to the Demon Realm. It's not your fault that all of this is happening. This is because of Belos." I tell her. She nods. "Yeah, i guess your right. But, if i didn't help him meet the collector I-" she cuts off.
"Everyone will hate me.." she cried. I get on her level. "Hey, listen. Do you think i hate you? If i did i wouldn't be here right now." i say, trying to reassure her. She stares off into the distance, her eyes still red and watery. I give her another quick hug. "It's gonna be okay." i say, pulling away. "Its getting late, we should go to sleep." i suggest. "Yea." she replied. She walks out and I follow. Before i start walking downstairs, I whisper, "Goodnight, Luz" In reply i hear, "Goodnight to you too, Hunter." i smile and head back to downstairs. I go to lay in my sleeping bag. I look over at Gus, whos sleeping on the couch. I feel really bad for everyone.
The things we have been through have been tough. But, somehow we made it out alive. Everyone already misses home. But this place... is more comforting. Some part of me doesn't wanna.. go back? But i miss Darius. Its silly. How he is the only person that actually have cared about me at my worst. The others miss their loved ones. But i don't have much to miss. I get comfortable in my sleeping bag, give a last stare at the celing for tonight, shed a quick tear, and close my eyes.
