Before you knew it, it was the day before it was time to leave.

Udraria had taught you so much about the importance of taking care of yourself. You had always just done things for your father, but now you were forced into doing things for your own benefit.

You have learned how to use your sabre well, or well enough to simply defend yourself if things came down to it. You have learned many survival tactics and how to survive if you got lost. You've learned to find freshwater, hunt, fish, and build a shelter. Lalita had told you which plants to avoid eating and some plants that you could eat if you couldn't find meat.

However, all these things were just cautionary.

Tomorrow you would be continuing your journey. You have stayed in Udraria for almost three weeks and you were starting to get worried about your father. You wanted to go home as soon as you can.

Leaving would be hard though... especially with Haru.

You were sitting down outside on a rock in front of Haru. The two of you were outside his little getaway cave. This was the last day that you would be teaching him English and it saddened you to know that you'll be leaving him alone here.

You were quickly snatched out of your thoughts as a hand waves in front of you.

"ɛąrɬɧ ɬơ (ყ/ŋ). Something wrong?" Haru asked in front of you, leaning forward to inspect your face.

You shook your head and gave him a reassuring smile. "No. Nothing.." You sighed before picking up his hand and turning it to face him. "Hand." You said before picking both his hands up in yours. "Hands."

"Hands." He repeated before removing his hands from yours and just lifted one finger. He tilted his head at you for you to respond.

You chuckle at his confusion. "Finger." You said, tugging on the pointer finger that he held up. Haru stared at your face oddly.

You just raised an eyebrow before he just averted his eyes again, seeming to be embarrassed.

"Now. I want you to try and have a conversation with me. Let's talk." You said slowly as he nodded hesitantly.

"Hello." You started with a chuckle, waving with your hand shortly.

Haru just rolled his eyes. "Stupid."

"Hey! Who taught you that!! I sure didn't!" You playfully punch him on the shoulder, but Haru didn't react like usual.

He just looked down.

"What? Did something happen?" You ask him, placing your hand on his shoulder before he removed it.

"Why... is Lalita teaching you to build shelter?" Haru struggled to say. His English was getting better, but it wasn't perfect by any means. His face was stoic and he seemed to be very pissed off.

You just widen your eyes and look away from his piercing yellow ones. "Just... in case..." You trail off before his slams his fists on the ground. You freak out, quickly trying to see if he hurt himself, but his face was raging.

"You're lying!" Haru yelled angrily as his body wanted ached to hurt you for deceiving him, but he knew that wasn't okay. You had told him that fighting wasn't the answer and he wanted to believe you. But how could he trust you if you lied to him.

You just looked defenseless as you struggle to come up with an answer.

"Tell me! Tell me it isn't true!" Haru shakes his head in anger as tears escaped from his eyes.
