~Flashback~

"Umm... Alm....?" I said, quietly, as I walked to the young boy. Alm slowly turned to look at me. I gently touched his shoulder, looking down. "I'm sure that you will see Celica again..." I said, softly, trying to reassure the boy. Alm sniffled, quietly. "How can you be so certain...?" He whispered. I sighed, softly. "Because... I just am..." I answered, looking him in the eyes. "You will be reunited with her..." I said, gently hugging him. Alm hesitantly returned the hug and sniffled, quietly. "Thank you, (y/n)..."

"Man, this stinks..." Gray mumbled, as I walked back to the rest of the children. Faye glanced back at where Alm was and sighed, softly. Kliff looked at the two. "I'm sure we'll see her again..." He said. Tobin nodded. "Yeah... But I can't imagine how Alm must be feeling..." Kliff glanced at Alm. "He will be alright, soon..." He said. Gray rolled his eyes. "You just don't get it, do you, Kliff?" He said. "What if it were (y/n) that had to leave? What if you lost her, huh? You would be crying even harder than you were, earlier!" He stated.

Kliff's eyes widened, slightly. "Gray, that's not true!" He shouted, defensively. Gray huffed. "Uh huh. Sure. You're telling me that you wouldn't be bawling like a baby if (y/n) was taken from you?" He crossed his arms. Kliff started to tear up a bit. "Just stop, Gray! That isn't going to happen!" He said, his voice starting to get shaky. I had always hated seeing Kliff upset. I quickly rushed to the young boy and grabbed his hand, holding it, tightly.

"Be nice, Gray!" I said, defending my best friend. Gray rolled his eyes a bit. "Oh, come on, (y/n). He's just being a baby." He said. I shook my head. "Quit being so mean to Kliff!" I said. I then turned to Kliff and let go of his hand, hugging him, gently. "It's okay, Kliff... Just ignore him..." I said, softly. Kliff slowly hugged back, burying his head in my neck a bit. "Thank you, (y/n)..." He whispered.

~End Flashback~

I was lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling. That memory was constantly coming back to me. Over the years, Kliff and I slowly drifted apart. We were no longer as close as we were as children. In fact, we weren't close at all, anymore. It upset me, but there really wasn't anything that I could do about it. Friendship takes more than one person, and Kliff didn't seem willing to try to be friends, anymore. He hated small-talk, and he even seemed to find me annoying, sometimes. However, I was becoming close friends with Gray and Tobin. It just wasn't the same, though. I mean, I loved the two of them like brothers, but I missed Kliff's company. After all, I loved Kliff, too. Just... In a different way.

I was soon snapped out of my thoughts, when I heard a knock on my bedroom door. I sat up and looked towards the door. "Come in." I said. Soon, Sir Mycen was in my room. It wasn't surprising, since I had been staying with him for several years. I stood up and looked at him. "Hello, Sir Mycen." I said, stretching a bit. "How are you?" I asked. Sir Mycen gave a small nod. "I am doing well, (y/n). Thank you." He said. I nodded and smiled a bit. "That's good." I said, trying to stop thinking about Kliff. However, Sir Mycen could tell that something was wrong.

"(Y/n), what is the matter?" Sir Mycen asked me. I sighed, softly, and shook my head. "Nothing... I'm just still very tired..." I lied, looking back up at him. He nodded, slowly. "Alright..." He said, clearly not believing me. He probably knew what was wrong, as he knew about my feelings for Kliff. Sir Mycen then cleared his throat. "Anyway, I came to tell you that there have been rumors about someone planning to invade Ram Village." He said.

My eyes widened. "What? But why would somebody want to invade Ram Village? Celica isn't here, anymore!" I said, a bit worried. Sir Mycen shook his head. "Do not worry, (y/n). I will keep you safe." He said. "I'm leaving the village for a while to make sure that those rumors are only rumors, but I do not want you to be alone. Alm is here, of course, and Kliff is here, too." I froze for a moment. "Kliff is here...?" I asked, quietly. Sir Mycen nodded. "Yes, he is." He said. "I wanted you to be safe, so I asked for him to come." He explained. I nodded, slowly. "Alright..." I said. "Thank you, Sir Mycen..."
