Chapter 3
"Sorry we don't have another seat," Sora apologized for the third time. He turned around in his chair and looked sheepishly at Lynn on the floor.
"It's fine," she answered. She really didn't mind. The cockpit of their ship- they called it the "gummi ship"- had a dome completely open to the heavens around it. She thought it better to look up at the stars they passed by, rather than where they were going to. Or where they were leaving from.
Mommy. The word stamped itself across Lynn's mind. She closed her eyes, trying to imagine her mother's face without a single bruise or cut. If she could, Lynn would take an eraser and obliterate all of them forever. Eventually, the nastiest cuts healed even though some of them had been reopened multiple times by Lynn's father.
But what of the cut Lynn was opening upon her mother's heart now? Would this one mend like all the others? Instead of opening a path for her mother to follow, was Lynn forcing her to a life of pain and suffering longing for her lost daughter forevermore? Lynn's heart wrenched as she imagined her mother dying alone, wasting away in grief, but Lynn never finding out.
They say ignorance is bliss, but in this case, it's merely a knife through my heart, Lynn thought, laying down on the floor of the ship, watching the heavens speeding by, trying her very best not to think. Eventually the smooth, slightly rocking motion of the ship, her exhaustion from these few emotional hours, and the hushed, hurried whispers of Sora, Donald, and Goofy's conversation lulled her into a blessed dreamless sleep.
