Adria sobbed and sobbed and sobbed in Dittos's arms. Ditto couldn't find any words to comfort her, as she herself was going through a lot inside. Right now, the most composed person on flight was Patrick, Dittos's grandfather.
He was watching both girls from a distance. He wasn't particularly thrilled upon stumbling across the fact that his grand daughter was a lesbian. But he trusted her, and he was happy she found someone who loved her, so he said nothing. After all, being tormented by Shredder can't be compared to being with someone she loved with her whole existence. He was looking at the duo with a gentleness in his eyes. He could see the love between them, they understood the untold. Adria was sobbing endlessly while Ditto held her in her embrace.
A perfect couple.
This was the only word he could find to describe them.
He was very grateful to Adria, who saved her grand daughter and him from the dirty claws of Shredder. He was thinking what to say when the attendent came to serve them refreshment.
Adria was feeling much better after crying. Ditto couldn't believe her luck that she actually found her soulmate and didn't died while she was in Shredder's hell.

'You are alone when you are running away. '
Although Patrick, Adria and Ditto had each other during this journey, they were alone in their minds. Lost. Uncomfortable. Uneasy. Scared. This scare wasn't just about a person. They were leaving a land and heading towards other. They weren't sure if this land would let them go. They weren't sure if the new land will accept them. With these thoughts in common,every person was having an internal battle. Adria wasn't sure if she would really be able to give everything she wanted to give to Ditto. Ditto was thinking that she was undeserving of all the love Adria was showering on her selflessly. Patrick was concerned about too many stuff, not so worth mentioning.

Back in the city, Max was the first to notice that Adria is missing. He went to look for her every where she could possibly be found. He also asked Akon, whether he knows or not about Adria's whereabouts. Akon didn't knew but he spectaculated that she would be nearby and would come back after a while. But Max knew she wouldn't. He knew that she fell in love with someone else, and she gave up on everything she had and turned her back on him for a new life. All this while when Adria pushed him, he thought one day, when she'll need love and joy in her life she'll definitely turn up to him. And he always had his arms spread out for her. But loving her, he thought that she SHOULD love him back. She did not had a choice to not love him back. Reason? Because he loved her. But this isn't the way people love.
You'll fall for someone, they'll fall for someone else.
Rarely people fall in love with the person who loves them.
Hence, Max was in chaos. He went back to the city again, and searched for her like crazy.
Back at Shredder's villa, his daughter, Melina was searching for Ditto to beat up again. His husband, Rick, wasn't in a good mood after his affairs went out in public, so he kept degrading her now and then. He didn't paid as much attention he used to pay to her. That made her agitated, and she wanted to vent it out on Ditto. Usually Ditto was back from her classes till 4 pm. Today shouldn't be an exception, as she didn't had any friends or something. But when she didn't 4:30 pm, Melina knew something was wrong. But Ditto knows that she can't run away from her father's claws, hence she could not make a move alone. Melina was stunned. In her mind, she thought, 'Galls of that whore, wait till I tell father that you are gone. He'll definitely kill you this time.'
