I watch as Pan is taken away from the court room. 3 years in jail. I bite my lip. My lawyer is clearly proud that we won. Honestly, if we didn't win, it'd have been fucked up. Pan had no idea what was going on. He's not not from this realm and has no understanding of our legal system just as everyone here in court today thought Pan was crazy. He'll probably be diagnosed with mental illnesses in jail.
People here in the world with no magic is so small minded to think this is the only realm people live. Anything that doesn't line up with what they don't know is immediately assumed to be "crazy". Pan really must've sounded crazy. I explained the realms to Alex, Marina, Felix, and my lawyer. I told them about all the other realms that I knew about: Neverland, Wonderland, the Enchanted Forest, and the World Without Magic.
"Congrats, sweetie!" Felix comes over and gives me a hug.
"Thanks," I smile forcing myself to sound happy when in reality I pity Pan.
"Celebratory dinner! Let's go!" Felix grins.
"Yay," I force a smile again.
"Your pick. Where do you want to go?"
"I liked The Little Owl a lot," I say.
"Mediterranean it is!" Felix grins hugging me.
I hug him back pretending to celebrate. I wish Pan never come to find me. It was a disaster for him. I grab my coat. Felix helps me put it on and offers me his arm to walk out of the court room. I pop my sunglasses on and follow him. Alex and Marina are chatting excitedly behind me.
This is the result they wanted, not the one I would've chosen. I still care about Pan a lot. He was my first love; the first person to show they cared about me. He was loving for quite a long time. I don't know what snapped in him, but I still loved him. I still do. I hope he is okay in jail.

I crawl into bed thoroughly exhausted. I'm upset with how today went. It would've been impossible for Peter to win. He seemed so confused. I just want to cry. I saw him again for the first time. I couldn't look him in the eyes or at him at all. My heart was breaking.
I curl up in a ball and squeeze my eyes shut. A few tears trickle down my cheeks. I cry myself to sleep. I know I'll be seeing Peter again in my dreams. I always do.
"Come on, Kae! Not too much further!" Peter calls from just ahead as we continue our hike."
"Peter, why are we on dead man's peak?"
"Because I have a surprise for you!"
"Oh what, plan on killing me with dream shade?"
"Why would I ever do that?" He asks giving me a wounded look.
"I don't know I'm just taking wild guesses."
"Well you can stop because we're here!" Peter stops, "I made us a midnight picnic!"
"A picnic?"
