So Familiar a Gleam: Conclusion

Time to leave!

There is not much of the city left, but the park is holding together as those anchoring help those who are not voidtreckers through back to where they belong. Monsters continue to attack and a little further out there is a battle of hearts and minds being fought with the mass of colours and chaos.

Eventually, after the bulk of citizens had been evacuated everyone with SCA's on would hear Jin-Roh's voice after a few frantic beeps, as Chiff aligned everyone's SCA's. "We are almost done here, if you are with anyone not tethered to a voidcraft get them to the evacuation point, as quickly as possible."

Anan pulls out of the anchoring point to call out to any defenders in the park. "Come on! Anyone who isn't a voidtrecker! It's time to go."

Luckily those off fighting the entity headed the message and made their way to the park as Jin Roh spoke again.

"Everyone else get ready. When we call it you need to leave. If you don't have your SCA on then get to someone who does."

As the last people rushed to the park Anan calls out again, through her SCA and outloud to the park. "You need to unanchor, before you can evacuate. Everyone be ready."

She goes in again though, because there are some last people, those from the large battle, getting through as another message was called.

"Almost there. Be ready. On my command..."

Anan unanchored again. "Quick everyone unanchor."

"NOW" Jin Roh's voice came through strong on their SCA's. Hopefully those with SCA's would grab those without.

There is some outside help as well, the train pulls anyone who is unconscious or still under the entity's control, forcibly evacuating them. This includes Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji and Zagreus.

Luggage Carriage

There has been a mass evacuation before and that was crazy enough but since then the population of the train has almost doubled and now it is an extremely tight squeeze as everyone crashes into the luggage carriage at the same time.

The train jerks and rolls as they enter into the void at breakneck speed and again as they seem to slow, rather than speeding off though the void.

There's a crackling from their SCA's. "Voidtreckers? Voidtreckers come in!" Anan's voice. "Please tell me you made it..."

There's only a few moments of signal and soon they are flying though the void again, away from the strange non-world, the entity sealed for now. To new adventures, but first hopefully some time to recover from all that has happened.

"... Maybe. But I..." He hesitates. He really shouldn't be afraid, and yet...

And yet.

"I... adults have a way different perspective. I don't know that they really understand how things look like from... 'down here', kind of. ... I just..."

What's really the problem? He feels a warm presence, Dike in his mind urging him on. "... No one likes getting hurt. I don't want to get hurt again... I know I need to be brave and risk it, but..." He's scared. He's scared and he can't say it, because to say it is to admit it, to make it real.

"Well.. Yeah, they have a different point of view than us.." Though in Madoka's case, she often found that more helpful rather than not, considering it made her mom able to give her better advice than she usually would have been able to back home.

But she can still see Ken's point, and she shakes her head before continuing.

"But.. missing someone.. or not wanting to get hurt.. adults feel that too, you know. Even if a lot of them try to hide it." So many. Gosh. If Madoka has learned anything on the train, it's that. "If you know adults here who care enough about you to be like parents to you.. then I'm sure they'll understand and be willing to share their worries with you too. You shouldn't think you can't talk about this stuff.."

"... I guess. I guess you're right." He keeps moving vegetables to the pot, trying to keep his feelings from overwhelming him. "I want them to take me seriously... like one of them, I guess that means I have to talk to them about that stuff, too."

She nods.

"I think being able to talk about those sorts of things openly.. that's what makes someone really mature!" Especially since even some adults seem to be having trouble with doing that. So if Ken can do it, then he's already pretty advanced.

Madoka tries smiling a little at him, hoping that it can be encouraging. "If it's hard.. then just pick one adult first to talk about it with. You know, either the person you trust the most, or the one you think will react in the best way.."
