[Game 18] Endgame

It's early morning by the time they tidy up the house and fix the windows—leaving it as neat as they'd entered it, Tristan promises—and head out. Tristan seems to be itching to just get away from the place, though they can't return to the church, and it's now New Year's Day—so they head back across the border to the house in New York. Even Sariel comes along—albeit reluctantly—at Tristan's suggestion.

"To my understanding," Tristan says, "the kid's with Sera right now, which I'm cool with. I was a bit rough on him, so he might be sleeping it off for another little while—and like you all said, he might be a bit freaked out to see a dozen people staring at him. So let's leave him there for now. I can send you all home." He pauses.

"But if you want to come back soon . . . I can bring you back. No agenda necessary. If you don't want to come—well, let me know, and I'll try not to bring you."

It's not losing yourself, it's becoming one with something greater.

What if you don't want to be great?

What if you want to be normal? Go to school and come home to parents and play on your phone when you're not suppose to?

And everything is so complicated for you guys. Wars and frightening situations all the time.

And changing is scary. I don't want Madison to change. Does becoming one or whatever mean he'll feel differently about.... Things?

We . . . have to make sacrifices for what is best. What is right.

He's still a kid.

Maybe he should do it but that doesn't make the situation right. It's unfair and cruel and....

Maybe you can't see that but it's all I can see. All I see is how much it's taking from him.
