It was a beautiful day on the planet of Aremea. The sky was at its most magnificent shade of violet, the light, whispering breeze, and most of all, the three beautiful suns, setting in the far South.
Lance was mesmerized by all of the colors surrounding the sunsets. He used to sit with his siblings and watch the sun go down almost every evening back in Cuba, on Earth. Lance was suddenly hit with a bout of homesickness. He missed his family. He missed his home. He missed Earth.
But he could never go back now.
Lance walked at a steady pace, headed for the cliff. He paused when he heard heavy footsteps come up behind him.
"Lance?"
Lance plastered a fake smile on his face and turned around, finding Keith looking worried.
"What are you doing out here?" Keith asked.
Lance ignored his question. "Don't try to stop me," he said sadly, smile faltering. Lance began to walk backwards, getting closer to the edge.
"W-What are you talking about?" Keith started to panic. "Don't try to stop you from doing what?"
"It's for the best," Lance said, smiling sadly.
Then he closed his eyes and fell backward.
Keith shot forward, to try to catch Lance before it was too late. He didn't make it to Lance on time.
The last thing Lance remembered before blacking out was Keith's screams of agony.
