Elgin National, Friday Morning, January 22, 3038
Cyrus walked into the cafeteria with Katya and Lena. He grabbed a cup of coffee and headed to the table where his friends had already gathered. It seemed everything was back to normal. Although his memory was playing tricks on him. He knew his friends but could also vaguely recall when they didn't exist. He was glad to see his friends coupled up, just like he and Katya were.
"Hi, Cy...Kat," greeted Lesley.
"Good morning," he answered.
"It's so good to see Louie and Dawn back together," Katya said.
"It feels good to us too," answered Louie. "Right hearts?"
"Cautiously, but yes," Dawn said.
"You two make a cute couple," added Centehua.
Howie interjected. "And now we apparently have a new set of love birds, look over there at Earnshaw and your sister, Callahan. Blah, sickening,"
Cathy and Thomas were sitting alone at their new spot, where they had gazed out the window at the falling snow.
