Bittersweet Melody
First Arc: Act Ten
"I'll fly home with you!"
Takao looked over to his left at the plane aisle across from him. Sitting in the two seats in the second aisle were the two sisters he had grown so fond of. Cat and Jam sat beside one another each occupied with their own thoughts.
He was excited; Cat had agreed to come back to Japan from New York along with the team. He found himself to be delighted with the fact that his old friend was now following him around, it felt like old times. Traveling the world, in search of new people that would battle with him. Although he had to remind himself, this wasn't exactly the adventure he had in mind.
His mind was rattled with the information he had learned on his trip to New York. An ancient rock containing Holy Beast fragments was now in the hands of someone else, a group that was out to get Team BBA's Holy Beasts. The rock, which was stolen from Max's Mother's research lab, had to be found. Feeling their best bet was most likely found with President Daitenji, the team traveled back home to Japan and took their information along with them.
Takao stared at Cat as she sat in her plane seat. She had a set of head phones attached to her head and a low bass could be heard from where she was sitting. She was also bobbing her head to the music, her lips reciting the lyrics although no sound came from her mouth. What could she be rehearsing, maybe for an upcoming concert or something?
Jam sat beside her sister, an angry look on her face. Takao chuckled under his breath she was still mad about the seating arrangement? Earlier he could recall Jam calling 'dibs' on sitting with Rei only to be disappointed when Kai took her seat. He watched as Jam grinded her teeth while she sat, one leg crossed over the other.
"What do you think she's doing?"
His eyes opened wide to the sound of Hiromi's voice in his ear. He turned to face the brunette only to see her large curious eyes planted on Cat. She continued to bang her head to the music blazing in her headphones.
"Practicing, I guess." Takao answered the girl before resting his chin on his open palm.
"It's like she's training." Kyoujyu popped up from the seat ahead of the couple. "Like we do for blading."
"Oh please," He lifted his arms and stretched them over his head. "I'd hardly call it training."
"Takao," Kyoujyu spoke to the older boy. "I think you're underestimating how hard her job is."
"It's not like she has to do what she does." He replied.
"Whatever she's doing, she should stop."
The three teens twitched to the sound of Kai speaking from the third row. Takao flipped around and placed his knees on his seat, hoisting himself up to see Rei and Kai sitting behind him. The cold male had one eye open and glued on Cat as she continued to lip sing to her music. He let out a grunt before shutting his eye and crossing his arms over his chest.
"It's annoying and embarrassing." Kai muttered to himself.
"It is pretty…odd-looking." Rei remarked as he placed his hand over his mouth, trying to hide his laughter.
"Aw come on guys," Max's voice floated in the air, catching everyone's attention. "Leave her alone, she's working hard."
Cat twitched, causing the teens that were watching her to flinch in return. She lifted her hands to her headphones and slowly moved them off her ears. She turned her attention to her CD player and pressed the pause button before she looked up at the team.
"What's the matter?" She asked looking at each team one by one.
"Nothing!" Hiromi leaned over to look at Cat and waved her hand at the female.
She cocked her eyebrow at the team. "All right…"
XoXoX
Takao could feel the pressure looming over him, haunting him wherever he went. There were people out to get his Holy Beast. Not only was The Saint Shields after his Beast but this new organization. What could be worse? Two groups after his Holy Beast made the teen drama he faced with Cat seem so minimal. Though he had found himself more self-assured than usual with his new Beyblade. Judy had repaired and improved his blade after the beating it had taken from the battle he fought with Team Phykick. This new blade it was powerful for sure. With the amount of power he had gained with this upgrade, he found himself 'relearning' how to use his blade. It was time for some serious training.
Takao had walked alone to the river to commence with his training. He must become better; he must learn how to manage with this new blade. He could not risk losing his Holy Beast and he had to protect the rest of the team from whatever they had headed their way. He stood before the river, his blade launched and spinning. He shouted at his blade, demanding it go left then right then left once again. The blade lagged as it zipped along back and forth. What was wrong with him? Ugh, why couldn't he getting this?
"Training I see,"
Takao's whole body twitched to the sound of a voice calling to him. His blade spun back over to him and leapt into his open palm. He then looked up on the grassy hillside to see a figure standing before him. The shadow from the setting sun caused the boy to squint his eyes at the figure. A smile spread across his face as the image became clear. Cat stood at the top of the hill, both hands placed out in front of her body, fingers interlaced together. Takao waved at the girl, a signal that caused the female to approach the male. Takao plopped down on the grassy hillside and patted the seat beside him. She let out a small sigh as she took a seat on the warm grass.
"So, what's with all this training?" She asked the boy as he lifted his blade to eye-level and began to adjust its gears.
"I'm trying to get a hold of his new blade Max's Mom made for me." Takao spoke with his eyes glued to his Beyblade.
"I see." She mumbled to herself.
Cat looked to the ground and began to dig her feet into the dirt. She let out a sigh but refused to say anything. He switched and turned his grip on his blade, adjusting it to his desire but feeling the pair of eyes on him and turned to see Cat staring at him. His eyebrows fell low on his forehead as he watched her stare into his eyes. What was with her? What was with the sudden stares and silence? He stuffed his Beyblade into jacket pocket and let his hands touch the soft grass.
"What's the matter?" He finally asked.
Cat took in a deep breath before opening her mouth, "Takao I-"
"Ah Takao!"
The couple jerked to the sound of a male voice. Takao jumped up on his feet after hearing the familiar voice speak out. The voice, it couldn't be. He looked about until his eyes landed on a small group of teens standing at the bottom of the hill. Ozuma stood with back straight and fist clenched before his team. His cheek twitched after seeing Ozuma standing before him. He then jumped off the hill, landing on both feet in front of The Saint Shields.
"What are you here for, Ozuma?" He aimed his index finger out toward the team standing before him.
"Ozuma!"
The Saint Shields' looked up to see Cat standing at the top of the grassy hill. A wide smile grew on her face as she witnessed the whole team before her. With delight, Cat jumped down from the hill and rushed at the team leader. The sudden sprint from the girl caused Ozuma to take a step back. He then looked at the girl with wide, confused eyes. What was she doing? She was happy to see him and his team? Ozuma looked over his shoulder to see his teammates just as confused as he was; he then returned his confused stare to the girl standing in front of him.
"It's so nice to see you again!" Cat reached outward and took the confused boy by the hands. "How have you been?"
"Uh," Ozuma's mouth fell open as he felt the girl tighten her grip on his two hands.
He gently began to pull on his hands back in an effort to release the grip Cat had on him. She let out a small giggle and pulled him closer. Ozuma's eyes grew wide with bewilderment and tried once again to retract his hands.
"Cat, what are you doing?!" Takao shouted before running and standing beside the girl.
Takao reached forward and grabbed his oldest friend's hands. He then pulled on her hands until she released her grip from Ozuma. She turned to look at him with confused eyes. Cat tilted her head to one side as her arms fell to her sides.
"What's wrong?" She asked the blue-haired boy with soft tone.
"You're holding Ozuma's hand, Cat!" He placed one hand on her shoulder and pointed his left index finger at The Saint Shield's captain.
"So?" Cat lifted her right hand and pushed his hand off her shoulder.
"Ozuma? The Saint Shields? The guys who are trying to steal our Holy Beasts, remember?" Takao gripped his empty fist, his anger growing with each passing second.
Cat shifted her eyes and attention back to Ozuma. She looked at him with a familiar sense. Sure, he and his team had been present at the time when Cat was a part of Gideon's team but why was she acting as if they were friends? She gave him a look as if she could not believe the rumors surrounding him and his team. Didn't she believe him when he told her that Ozuma was no good?
"I-I…" Cat began to stutter while speaking.
"Don't say anything." Ozuma lifted his hand, causing the girl to stop mid-sentence. "It doesn't concern you."
"But," She dug her nails into her shirt as she gripped down harder. "I never thank you properly."
"For what?!" Takao looked at the girl with a confused glare.
Ozuma's shoulders bobbed up and down as a snicker passed his lips. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Cat loosened her hand from her chest and extended it toward The Saint Shields. "I-"
"Forget about it." Ozuma then turned his back to the shocked female. "Let's go, it's obvious that Takao is busy."
"And it's too bad too." Mariam let out a loud sigh and shrugged her shoulders in a careless manner. "We wanted a match with you."
"Maybe next time," Yusuf laughed, following is captain and turning away from Takao and Cat.
"Oh," Ozuma lifted his hand in the arm for a moment before he glanced over his shoulder at the couple behind him. "And Cat, I'll see you later."
Her eyes snapped open wide. Takao narrowed his eyes and looked at Cat with one brow cocked. What was he talking about? As usual Ozuma was speaking in riddles and he found himself at odds more than ever. He watched as the Saint Shields disappeared from sight. He turned to his left to see Cat standing in shock. Now what? He placed one hand on his hip as he stared at the girl.
"What was that supposed to mean?" Takao asked, causing the singer to shake her head back and forth.
"Takao," She turned to him with a look of concern on her face. "I need you to do something for me."
"What?"
"Tomorrow, get the team together for me." Cat felt her hand lift up to her face and gently push aside a stray hair. "And meet me at the airport."
"The airport?" He felt his stomach begin to flip and flop inside of him. "What for?" He winced in pain as he spoke.
"Takao," Cat leaned in toward him. "I can't stay here any longer." She replied before lifting her hand and placing it on his shoulder. "I'm…I'm going back on tour."
"What?" He backed away from the female. "But you just got back."
Cat removed her hand from his shoulder and lowered her head to look at the ground. "I know…but I'm leaving tomorrow morning." Her voice softened as she continued to speak. "I want you to gather the team for me, can you do that?"
He felt the world around him spin. What was happening here? Could she really be leaving…again? And his stomach cramped. What was this he was feeling? Anger? Sadness? He grunted and placed his hand on his chest. He could feel his breathing slow and become deep. The noises around the couple became muffed and dull. It was as if he was gasping for air, as if he could no longer breathe. What could this be? A panic attack? He felt his hand raise and touch his forehead. Sweat dripped down his temples and cheeks. His forehead was warm perhaps he could be sick?
"Takao." Cat waved one hand in front of the boy. "Takao, can you do that for me?"
"What?" He managed to speak out as he tried to get a handle on his emotions.
"Can you get the team together for me?" She leaned in toward him and placed her hand atop of his upper arm.
"Oh," He pulled away from the female. "Sure."
"Thank you." She let a sigh out as she lowered her arm away from the Beyblade champion. "I'll meet you tomorrow morning at the airport then."
"The airport tomorrow morning." Takao could feel more sweat building on his forehead.
"See you then." Cat backed away from the boy, her eyes lingering on him for a moment.
The celebrity bursted into a sprint and dashed away from the scene. Takao looked up to see the girl running, the pain in his gut remaining. He then looked to the ground. He could feel the burning sensation of anger simmering inside of him and yet…he couldn't find it in him to shout or stomp or scream.
A cool breeze passed through him as if he were a ghost. The cool air dampening his sweat-covered face, Takao lifted his head to face the clouds. The orange and pink sky reflected on the clouds creating a picture that he found hard to turn away from. This was to be expected but…so soon? He closed his eyes and let the breeze shake his jacket loose from his body. What was he going to tell the team, what was he going to tell Max? His fist began to clench closed.
Max…what would he say about this?
XoXoX
"Takao, where have you been?"
He entered the dojo, one foot dragging in after the other. He was sure he heard his name being called. He forced his head and eyes to look forward to address who was speaking to him. In front of him stood Kyoujyu, Rei and Max. The capped boy turned to the left to see in the deepest corner of the room Kai standing alone. It was apparent now that Hiromi had taken herself home. He let a sigh of relief out and plopped down on the dojo floor. That's right, someone was calling his name. He once again lifted his head to see that Max was speaking to him.
"I was just…training, that's all." Takao finally answered the blond.
"We were beginning to worry." Rei spoke out.
"Are you all right, Takao?" Kyoujyu knelt down toward his old friend, feeling worry for him. "You look a bit pale."
"Guys," He lifted his head to look at his teammates, "There's something you have to know."
"Go ahead, Takao." Rei narrowed his eyes at the young boy.
"Tomorrow, we're all going to the airport." He lifted his hands to his head and pulled his cap off. "We're going to see Cat off."
"What?" Max and Kyoujyu backed away, shocked by this statement.
"Tomorrow Cat is leaving." He said in a simple tone. "We're going to see her off tomorrow morning."
Kai let a chuckle roll off his tongue. The champion flinched to the sound and shot a nasty glare in the oldest male's direction. What was so funny? Nothing about the situation was funny, not a thing. Kai always had a habit of making a sweet moment taste bittersweet. Why couldn't he keep it to himself just this once?
"She's continuing her tour." Takao turned away from Kai and spoke to Max. "We're all going to be there."
"It's hard to believe." Max managed to crack a small smile. "It feels like she just got here."
"I know." Kyoujyu sighed.
"Well," Rei bit down on his lower lip. "It is her job. I'm sure she'll be back."
"Yeah sure." Takao rolled his eyes. "There she is, choosing her career over us again." He then fell backward, letting his back hit the wooden floor.
"Takao!" Kyoujyu watched the blue-haired boy as he wrapped his arms behind his head.
"It's true, isn't it?" He protested with a glare. "Right when everything seems fine and good, she up and leaves." His voice then grew low. "She always does."
"She has a good reason, Takao." Max sat down beside him.
"Yeah, yeah." Takao waved a solo arm in the air, dismissing the blond.
"If we're going to see her tomorrow in the morning, we should get some rest." Kyoujyu stood up and looked over toward his pile of folded blankets.
"I agree." Rei lifted his hands to his head and ran his fingers through his silk-like hair.
Takao let out a grunt before turning to his bed. "Fine."
XoXoX
Takao had found himself in this position before. He sat up from his bed and looked into the darkness of the room. The soft sounds of the other boys sleeping gave him a strange comfort. He felt himself inhale deeply through his nose and exhale through his mouth. Perhaps he needed a splash of water to the face. Too many things were happening now, why couldn't this have happened later?
He rose from his bed and step out of his pile of blankets. He tiptoed around the other boys before finding himself standing in the dark kitchen hall. A splash of water would do him good. Takao stepped over toward the faucet and pulled on the handle. A stream of water gushed out of the faucet and soon into his empty palms. With one solid jerk, a large amount of water slapped his cheeks. The cool water was refreshing and for a moment, his mind was clear.
"Takao?"
Another jerk caused Takao to choke on the water as it entered his nose. Someone had called to him from behind. He let out a few small coughs before reaching out blindly for a towel. Once he held the towel in hand, he brought it to his face and began to dry his wet cheeks. When his eyes were clear to see, he dropped the hand towel from his face to see Max standing before him.
"Max?"
"Takao," Max spoke in a soft, quiet voice. "I wanted to know, how you were feeling about tomorrow."
Takao paused for a moment before answering. "Exactly the same way you're feeling."
Max let a smile stretch across his face for a moment and shook his head from side to side. "No, Takao I don't think you do." A small laugh passed through his lips. "Takao…"
He bit down on his lip. What was this supposed to mean? He felt his stomach jerk in pain. Wait a moment, stomach pain without the mention or visual of Cat? So now he was going to feel sick just by the mention of her name? He looked into Max's deep blue eyes. What was the blond thinking? What did he mean by coming to him with this attitude? He watched as the ocean blue eyes shifted from up to down.
"Takao," He spoke again. "There's something I think you should know."
"Max?" Takao felt the sudden urge to turn away at this moment, fearing what he was about to hear.
Max let a small laugh calm Takao's tense body. The American then let a warm smile spread across his face. A sigh passed through him as he stood before Takao. Looking down at the floor he spoke in the softest voice he could produce.
"Takao, I care a lot about her." His voice caused him to flinch in stomach pains. "I love her, Takao."
His world came to a screeching halt. His stomach flop up then down and his hand rose and covered his mouth, he was unsure if he was shocked or about to be sick from the pain in his belly. He loved her? Takao looked to the ground, this was to be expected so why the shock? His first reflex was to laugh and at the sound of his laughter, the American's eyes to dart up in his direction. Takao reached out and placed one hand on his shoulder.
"I know." He smiled at the blond. "It's okay."
Max paused before letting out a small giggle. A red flash came across his face as he lifted his right hand out to Takao. He looked down at Max's hand and complimented him by giving him a friendly handshake. The two boys stood in front of one another looking into one another's eyes. He couldn't deny the pain in his stomach any longer and placed his hand over his belly. Max let his hand loose and tilted his head at his actions and watched as the older boy winced in pain.
"What's the matter?"
"Hehe," Takao lifted one hand to ensure he was fine. "I'm all right, it's just a cramp."
"Take it easy, all right Takao?" He replied before he began to turn away from the sick champ. "I'm going back to sleep."
"Sure thing." H waved to the younger blond, signaling him back off to bed.
Max gave him a thumbs up and turned away fully. Takao let out a loud grunt before backing up into a nearby wall. What was wrong with him? He felt the pain slowly fade away as he leaned against the wall. Love? Takao felt his head lift upward and he looked to the ceiling. Why did this shock him? The information was nothing new. Takao had long been aware of Max's affection for Cat Greco. The year they had spent together as a team, he had fallen for the girl. It was obvious to anyone and everyone so why did it bother him so much now?
Perhaps it was because Max so willingly opened up to him or perhaps it was the way he said it, either way it was something he had to let go. There was nothing he could do about it now.
XoXoX
"So, are we ready?"
Takao felt the weight of the world sitting on his shoulders. Was this actually happening to him again? All the pain and anger that had come once a year earlier seemed to be haunting him in this moment.
She's leaving again.
Why did she have to do this? Why did she continue to put him through these types of situations? Wasn't this the reason why he had gotten angry with her in the first place? Didn't Cat get it by now?
Team BBA stood inside the quiet airport, each member standing beside another unsure of what to say. They stood in the lobby, before a large glass window. Outside the airplanes waited for their passengers to aboard them. Takao stood in the center of the group, waiting in silence. What was he going to say when she finally arrived? Would he be anger? Sad? Happy? Takao looked to his left to see Max standing beside him. What could the blonde be thinking? Would he be upset once Cat showed herself? Would be excited for her? He wanted the best for one of his closest friends. Perhaps closure would bring him the satisfaction that he longed.
Kai looked at the group of teens standing to his left. They all appeared to have blank facial expressions and stood silent. They couldn't all be feeling down about this, could they? Kai felt his arms lift and cross over his chest. In his typical pose, he looked to Max and then to Takao. Why did he seem amused?
"Hello."
The group all jumped at once. Cat's voice could be heard and they turned around to face her. Takao turned to see the young girl standing, one bag of luggage in hand. Beside Cat stood her elder sister, Jam. Jam held a duffle bag on her shoulder. Finally, Adof stood furthest to the right, two carry-on bags in hand. This was about the time he felt his stomach take a turn for the worst. Upon seeing the girl, his gut rumbled in pain. He winced just for a moment before slowly approaching the two sisters.
"It'll be late soon," Cat said as Takao came closer to her, the others following behind him. "We should say good bye before it gets any later."
"Cat…" Max sounded almost as if he was feeling sick too.
"I wanted to tell you something before I left." She lowered her head, her face covered by her long dark brown hair.
"What is it?" Kyoujyu asked in a soft voice.
"Next year," Her voice strained. "Next year I'm going to see you at the tournament." Her head then lifted and she stared at the team with fierce eyes. "I will be entering the tournament to face each one of you."
Takao felt a laugh coming on. The small chuckles became louder as he lifted his head and closed his eyes. Hiromi watched as the boy threw back and began to laugh very loudly. Cat tilted her head in confusion and opened her mouth to ask what was so funny, only to have him interrupt her.
"Good." He then lifted his clenched fist into the air. "I'll be there." He then gave the younger female a cocky wink.
Cat once again lowered her head. Her lower lip began to tremble under the pressure she had to be feeling inside. She clenched her hands and placed them on her chest before shutting her eyes tight. Trying her best to subdue her tears, the celebrity bit down on her lower lip and began to whimper.
"I…I just don't want you all to hate me for my choices." Cat managed to speak as her tears dropped from her eyes. "Not like last time."
The team watched as the girl's chest began to pick up and drop at a rapid speed. Her breathing had picked up as she tried her hardest to prevent more tears from flowing from her eyes. Two flat palms rose up and covered Cat's teary face. She began to whimper louder as she dug her hands deeper into her face.
"I love you all too much…to let that happen again." Cat let her muffled words enter the world with a whisper-like voice. "But there are things I still have to do."
"It's all right, Cat." Rei's voice appeared to sooth her.
"Cat, we understand." Max reassured the female with his kind words. "We wouldn't ever hate you."
Takao stepped toward the sobbing girl. With only mere inches between them, he stood silent, his face covered by the shadow of his hair. After picking up on his presence, Cat shifted her head upward to look the boy in the eyes. She stared at Takao's shadowed face as tears streamed down her round cheeks. Cat then lifted her arms to her face, trying to wipe away the tears.
"Except you…" She lowered her arms to her side and continued to speak. "Takao, I hate you."
Takao took one more step forward, allowing her face to fall into his shoulder. Cat inhaled a deep breath and continued to let the water leak from her eyes. She let out small whimpers as she sobbed. He could feel the young girl breathing on his shoulder. He couldn't think of a word to say or an action to do as he stood there with Cat. His stomach at this moment was twisting and turning inside of him. He lifted his hands to the girl and wrapped them around her, embracing her in a tight hug.
"It's all right."
Takao reassured the female as he moved her from his shoulder into his chest. He could feel Cat's rapid breathing as he tightened his grip on her. Surely her tears were staining his clothes, surely she was going to deny him a return hug, and surely this moment would be cut prematurely. A reflex caused the boy to unravel his arms from Cat and lower them to his side. He then stood to one side so the rest of the team could say their good byes. Cat looked up to see Hiromi standing beside Kyoujyu with tears in her eyes.
"Max?"
Max walked toward Cat with his arms wide open. He wrapped his arms around the female and nuzzled his face in her hair. She let out a whine as she returned Max's embrace with one of her own. She gripped the back of Max's shirt, causing the boy to pat her back.
"Gotta say good bye here." Jam approached Rei with a large smile on her face.
"I suppose so, but it's just for now." Rei replied as he began to open his arms to the older girl.
She stepped toward Rei and wrapped her delicate arms around him. Rei let a smile consume his face as he squeezed the girl in his arms. She let out a giggle as she began to pull away from the boy. Rei watched as the older sister lifted her index finger to her lips and gave it a dainty kiss. She then placed her kissed finger on Rei's cheek. A deep red blush spread across Chinese boy's cheeks before he began laughing.
"I'll be seeing you, then." Jam said with a flirty wink to the younger boy.
"I won't even try hugging you." The sound of Cat's voice caused Takao to turn to the right. The celebrity had stepped toward Kai and addressed him with a goofy grin.
Kai opened his eyes and stepped closer to the girl. He then jerked his right hand out to the girl. She looked at his empty hand with confusion. Kai let a grunt pass through him before shaking his hand at the girl with impatience. Getting a hold of what Kai was saying, she moved her own hand toward him. The two engaged in a short handshake. Cat gave Kai a firm nod of her head before turning away from him.
"Hiromi," Cat looked at the female with a smile on her tear-soaked face. "Take care of my boys, will you?" She looked down at Kyoujyu. "I'll miss you Kyoujyu."
"Same here." Kyoujyu walked over toward the girl and placed his hand atop of hers. "Have a safe flight."
"Miss Greco," The group of teens turned to the sound of Adof's voice. "We should get going now. We do have a flight to catch."
"All right." Cat turned to the team with more tears streaming down her face now.
"Be sure to show up to next year's tournament." Jam said with her hand placed on her hip.
"We will." Takao rose his clenched fist to Jam and shook it at her. "Don't worry about that."
Cat, Jam and Adof then began to walk passed Team BBA. It was time that they left, no need to linger. As the trio made their way through the deep lobby of the airport, Takao could feel his stomach begin to settle. Perhaps it was the sight of this strange female that caused his stomach to knot up. Perhaps it was her aura or her presence but something about her caused him to feel ill. This leaving may be for his better; he would no longer have a distraction to hold him back. As the three stepped down the hall, their footsteps echoing through the air, Cat peered over her shoulder to look at the team one last time.
"Good bye!"
She shouted from afar, one hand raised in the air. The team called back out to the trio as they began to disappear from sight. Hiromi lifted her finger to her face and flicked away a small tear that had trickled down her cheek.
Was she actually crying? Hiromi looked to her left to see the boys with smiles on their faces. So their 'new girl' actually felt some sadness watching her rival leave? Hm, it might be too sweet for his tastes. But for now it was all right, for now things could end with a happily ever after.
But new things were coming. They had a tournament to win; they had a second championship to take. And having her wait until next time would be just fine. Things were different this time around, things were better, just as he predicted.
Hiromi's arm then shot upward into the arm and began to wave back and forth. Takao smiled, next year was sounding good, just a little while longer and then they would have the whole tournament to be together again. When that day came, he would be ready, surely.
