*She shakes her head* No. No I- It has to be right now. This is it. This is the end- i’m not going to be stuck here any longer. *A bit more lively* I- I’m gonna go home and see the ocean again. I’m gonna take a nap on my couch and not be afraid or cold or hungry- i’m gonna see Mamá and the palm trees and the stupid rich people and i’ll get high off my ass and pass 3 whole fucking hours of my life zoned out on a dollarstore pool floatie.

It’s... It’s okay. I’m gonna be okay... again. That’s- thats my home. *She takes a deep breath, and looks to Inya’a*

Let’s go home.

Most of them love me. *huff-laugh* Well... I know Feliz does. I can count on that at least. Everyone else felt... Indebted, maybe, or... Something. Feliz actually took the time to get to know me, and she stood up for me and was there for me and....

...I don’t wanna say goodbye.

... *she sighs* I... I- No. I’m not. But... I... I can’t do another year of this. I don’t know what’s gonna be waiting back h- ...back There, but i’ve... I’ve done enough running. I just wish it didn’t feel like I was leaving my family behind.

*she shrugs* ‘told my sister about... This plan thing, and now she doesn’t feel too great about y’all. She’s not gonna do anything, she’s just.... Thinking stuff over. You sounded kinda tired, wanted to make sure it wasn’t her.
