After an hour or so, everyone had finally gathered by the gate where I torched a certain professor's precious ride—but just to himself—though the friends I'd be leaving in the meantime were present except for a select few: Chloe, Dr. Lopez, Ron, and Allyssa.
The first two had solid reasons for not sending us off but we did a proper goodbye when Dr. Lopez treated the few scratches I sustained from throwing myself on the ground. And for the other two, they had their own issues to deal with but I did leave my school ID to Mimi which she clutched like her life depended on it.
She was in tears as I was saying goodbye, "S-Stay safe, a-alright? Y-You better come back! You promised!"
