Epilogue

"There's a whole world out there!". I said that with so much enthusiasm, that it sounded fake. Too much bravado. Lost all of the coolness that I had before. I tried to be a role model to him. Who knows if it worked or not. The road ahead is uncertain, crooked. I never thought that I would be in the position that I am in now. I hold copious amounts of regret all the time, like a glass of water unwillingly being filled to the brim, but what am I regretting exactly? That I never got to properly say goodbye? That I didn't get to keep my promise? I don't know.

On that day, I left the reality that I knew to enter another. From that point onwards, I truly realized the horrors that were hidden in the reality that I left. Why is everything so tainted? Why end everything in gutless and shallow conflict? I had to fix it. I kept on repeating that to myself. I've been traveling and traveling with no end in sight. I step forward and the whole world slowly creeps back. I sometimes think about that young man, the little boy I saw in my vision. Why was that shown to me? There are many questions that I've tried to ask that have been left unanswered. The only way is home now. Wherever "home" is.
