"Hey.." I voiced on seeing Ethan. He was in the garden, standing and staring up at the sky with his hands in his dark pants.

"Hi.." He responded, turning towards me.

"Is it the moon or something else?" I inquired with a smile as I walked to get beside him.

He smirked and then returned to his position.

"It's so peaceful up there." He said,

"Down here is so different. Complex yet conducive." He added,

"You..miss home don't you?" I asked him.

"Home. What is a home? If not a place where you are not alone?" He responded.

"Up there is just me being who I am meant to be– a Watcher. Listening to wishes and prayers, choosing which to grant, when to grant it, and how to grant it without making a mistake.

It was much simpler then." He added.

"I still find it hard to fit in all of this myself," I told him.
