Epilogue

I set down the box on Carmen's bed. Her original bed. The one in Hawaii. It has now been ten years since she died. I picked up the strength to take her back to where she belongs. I rubbed my nose, closing my eyes for a moment. It didn't hurt as much as it used to when I looked at the box. Not a lot happened since then. I stayed with her box and didn't touch the ashes. I had only looked at them once.

I stretched a bit, glancing around for a moment. By now, of course, I had finally reached acceptance of Carmen's death. It took a while but I finally got where I am. I came here alone. Yep, just by myself. I've basically lost the rest of the group. I haven't got the slightest idea of where they are.

I lifted her bow. I instantly got a rush of memories. I still remember that it was from Connor. I gripped it slightly, annoyed. I set it back down next to her bed. 

It was so quiet now.

Ten years ago, of course, I felt lost. The lack of having Carmen around.. That takes some getting used to.

I kept walking around, looking around at her gadgets and such. I didn't touch or move any of them.

Coming back to Hawaii made me feel more upbeat. Fuller, in a way. I guess, whole again. It was nice to see all the things I've missed for all this time. I really wish I did this earlier.

I guess I could consider myself her sixth.

(OFFICIALLY DONE. Just wanted to squeeze this in here. :0)
