At the transfer point , Ken opened the compartment , letting the passengers file out .
Calista kept her head down , hat pulled low , as she passed him .
Kens heart clenched .
He found himself staring at one particular figure before quickly looking away .
His mind must be playing tricks it couldnt be Calista .
Then a gust of wind snatched the hat from her head .
Your hat ! Ken turned at the shout , and his world stopped .
It really was Calista .
Their eyes met , and the color drained from his face .
Calista , why are you- Shes a satellite researcher , someone laughed .
Where else would she be ? Understanding crashed over Ken .
He sprinted toward her , wild with desperation .
Calista , dont go ! He reached for her , fingers grasping at empty air .
We grew up together ! We promised wed never be apart .
How can you leave me ? The engine rumbled to life .
Calista sighed softly .
Ken , you left me first .
Let go the cars leaving .
Kens eyes burned red .
Only now , too late , did he see his heart clearly .
He had never truly seen her as just a sister .
He loved Calista ! It is unimaginable to live in a world without her .

They had always been there , reaching for her .

Once , shed believed home was wherever Ken was .
But not anymore.
Stay with Viola , Ken .
Kens certainty crumbled .
In his moment of shock , Calista pulled her foot into the car , and it lurched forward .
Calista ! Calista ! Dont go ! He ran after the car with everything he had , until his strength gave out and he collapsed to the ground.
