Enid's POV

I was so nervous, I was surprised I wasn't stinking the place up a lot more than I usually do. This was a big step in our lives. Moving far away from Jericho and potentially never coming back here, but... I knew this was something I had to do for my mental health. I haven't truly been happy outside of Wednesday and the girls because of this fucking place...

Don't get me wrong - I love hanging out with like Yoko, Bianca and even Ajax (even though Wednesday enjoys making his life miserable), and I wouldn't change a single day to where they were never in my life. But ever since the Crackstone stuff, I don't feel safe here anymore. And I always worry about dangers that Ticia and Lily might face, no matter where we are. But at least in a new environment, I'll be better equipped to help them, instead of feeling like I'm always frozen in fear all the time...

"So, do you and Wednesday know where you're moving to? I was thinking maybe Paris or Tokyo, Japan!"

I rolled my eyes playfully at Yoko's suggestions. Although, I wasn't going to lie - the idea of us moving to Japan was extremely tempting. Japan was on my list for dream cities to live in, and I know Wednesday wouldn't object to it.

"You know... Japan is actually not a bad idea. It's been one of my dream destinations for like, the longest time... but... do you think that's too far away from Jericho?"

Bianca interjected.

"Enid. I say this with love - if you want to start a new chapter in your life, don't worry about us. We're big girls, we can handle things here. Your story in Jericho is over. You need to start a new life with your wife and kids. If moving to Japan, Paris, hell, even Las Vegas will make you happy, do it. Do whatever the fuck you want, because it's your life. Just don't forget about us, yeah?"

I wiped a damn tear from my eyes because I'm an emotional bitch that cries over the smallest things now, (which is okay!), and I hugged Bianca.

"I could never forget about either one of you. Even if I had amnesia, I would remember you, Yoko and of course Wednesday."

Yoko and Bianca chuckled.... I really needed this. I've been so stressed and all over the place that Wednesday practically begged me to get out of the house and spend some time with these two, and I couldn't stop thanking her for giving me a reprieve from all this crazy shit, which I almost cried out of joy and relief...

"In all seriousness, Enid. I'm really going to miss the fuck outta you. I still remember you stinkin' up my dorm room when you had way too much roadkill like 3 years ago. Now everytime I walk in my room and sniff the air, I think of you. Wait, that came out weird-"

I laughed loudly at Yoko as I lightly punched her arm.

"Are you sure that's not your own stink you've been smelling, Tanaka?"

Yoko just shrugged nonchalantly.

"But... I guess what I'm trying to say is... you, Bianca and Wednesday have been three of my bestest and closest friends I've ever had. A lot of people back in Nevermore Academy shunned Divina and I because we're vampires, so we just had to grin and bear it for the longest time. Then when we formed the Nightshade Society... that was the first time Divina and I felt like we belonged somewhere... even if it put us in the crosshairs of you and Wednesday because of bad memories for her... it... it really made me feel special, you know?"
