The silver haired man brushed aside tears as he opens the Audio Recording that he was sent.

Dear Kal.

Im talking to you from the other side of the universe -you've no doubt found out that I'm gone by now.

I just wanted to um, say a couple of things.

I'm sorry I left.

It's just, I, um.

God, I can't do this.

I don't love you anymore. And everything got to be too much.

Like, you were so wrapped up in the fact that 'yay we survived' and 'I'm with you again' to realise what was going on.

Hell, I wanted to grab Zilas disruptor and shoot myself.

Jesus.
That's a dark thought.

But, um, anyway, I couldn't be around you all anymore.

Well, except for Fin.
He's with me.

We both wanted to leave, so, so badly.
We were gonna leave once the peace talks were done, but yeah, with everything that happened, we decided to go then.

We had both planned on leaving anyway, we were just changing the date.

But I'm so sorry, Kal.
You truly deserved someone better than me.

I mean, I'm just a fucked-up girl called Aurora O'Malley, aren't I?

I'm just a girl who needed fixing.

And I swear, if you find me...

God.

Just...don't come looking for me, okay?

We're happy here.

So, um, yeah.

I don't know if Fin'll keep in contact but I won't.

I'm sorry.

This is Aurora Jie Lin O'Malley, signing off for the last time.

And so I realise that I'm truly alone now.
