        Over the next few weeks, Kyle would come to learn that no matter how hard one tried to get off of the island, they always ended up back. There seemed to be some sort of magical barrier between it and the outside world, and he had no idea how he had crossed it in the first place. Emma explained to him how many times she had tried and failed, and Kyle didn't put a lot of effort into escaping anyway, as there was nothing for him in that world anymore. They learned to coexist, and Kyle began to fall in love with Emma, whether or not he realized it. She was funny, beautiful, and smart, everything that he valued and more. Things were finally looking up for the two lonely and broken people.
        Kyle woke up one morning to the smell of roasted pineapple, which Emma had very quickly discovered to be his favorite. She smiled at him over her shoulder, and he gave her a stupid grin from his cot she had built him out of bamboo and thatch. He sat down at their little table for breakfast, and about midway through eating he blurted out "I love you!" Emma froze and stared at him for a few seconds while Kyle realized what he had done. He burst from the table, out of the door into the jungle while Emma tried to catch him, but she was only able to grab the back of his shirt and Kyle was easily able to break free. Emma sat down on her bed and thought things over, and realized that she had feelings for Kyle too. She had to go find him.
