[SHIRO'S POV - a day before Voltron's reformation]

It seemed like forever.

The year that went by, facing endless numbers of monsters in that arena, felt like forever.

The amount of time he spent in Haggard's room being experimented on felt like forever.

The endless worry for the safety of himself, Matt, and Matt's father went on for forever.

The counting of the guard's footsteps, the number of seconds the next cluster of guards would take to arrive... felt like forever.

Running into the escape pod and never looking back -- that felt like forever.

But he was there, in the pod.

He was safe.

He was out of breath, injured heavily, and famished, but he was safe.

He was heading back to Earth.

Back home.
