The ship feels a little more empty now without Chaya, Chilli, Tatsu, and Tomi, but you do your best to keep moving forward. At first your kids, especially Broly was shocked to learn she'd left the planet off on her own. But over time they, as well as you got used to the new routine. Days turn to weeks as you keep training them, raising them up to be the best versions of themselves, and before you know it a whole month has passed since Chaya's departure. You know it was a month by the message you received from Towa, letting you know you all could return.
“Are you ready?” she asks you one day after you'd finished another session of pushing your students. “Enough time has passed, you all can return.”
“That sounds great.” you'd replied, adding Meloka into the telepathic call. “We're ready.”
“But, are you?” she asks. “All of you?”
“What do you mean?” you ask, getting a gut feeling you know who she's talking about.
“What about Chaya?” she asks you, seriously. “Should I have Churai pick her up as well?”
Well?
