Vivian and Maddie laugh and talk the whole way back to the gate station, where everyone goes their separate ways. Ahpin is content to watch them, though he gives Maddie a pat on her shoulder when it’s time for him to go.
He gently puts his bag on the floor once he gets home, tucks Chuck into a cardboard box lined with pillows and blankets, and enjoys an order of takeout while stretching his sore feet.
Nothing can ruin this evening, which is the cue for Ahpin's phone to buzz.
There are several messages from Cepha, asking why he's missing from work, a reply from Eldoon, and at the top, a text from his dad.
Dad: Can you check on your little sister? I haven't heard from her in a while.
