Hm?

[adistantstudent]

I really...don't have any excuse to hide [very gone!] not mention this any more.

It wasn't what I originally planned, but...this is my last year here. I don't have any choice in the matter, it seems.

[cheerfulflirt]

...It is? Why didn't you tell me before?

What happened?

[Filter: Alek]

[adistantstudent]

I was hoping that I could make it go away...somehow. It's obvious now that it isn't happening.

You may remember that I had to meet with my parents back in Jungvy. To put it simply, I was unable to convince them that I needed another year. They did not want to be convinced.

You should have told me. I know I can't be of any help, but...

Is there anything you are going to do? Or is it really hopeless?

[Filter: Alek]

[adistantstudent]

I've known all along that I should have told you. It was just...incredibly hard to bring up. I'm sorry.

I'm going to keep on trying everything I can think of. I don't have anything like a failsafe plan, but failure isn't an option here.

[cheerfulflirt]

It's okay, I guess. Um, I kept things to myself before too.

If it does happen to fail, please, please tell me, okay? I'll... I'll go with you if you let me.

[adistantstudent]

Haven't we all-

Ah.

...But I can't ask you to...what about...

It's not that I would mind or anything.

[Filter: Arisha]

[cheerfulflirt]

Well, I said I was going to run away some day, right?

It's much better if it's with you.

[Filter: Alek]

[adistantstudent]

You...did. And I agreed to your reasoning.

In that case, leaving doesn't sound so bad after all.
