Late at night, Izzy had returned to the academy, but unlike she had expected, it was on her own. In the middle of the conversation with her parents, Gary had wandered off. She had done as he asked and spent time with her family.
They didn’t do a lot of exploring though, since it wasn’t exactly a safe town nor was it one where they had much influence. Instead, they talked about what had happened and they had a lot of questions regarding Gary, including some personal questions as well.
When she eventually left her family, she wrote a message to Gary asking if he was still in the town, or if he had left yet, but there was no reply. In the end, she decided that the best thing for her to do was just to return to the academy.
It was hard for her to sleep that night, because she kept thinking about one of the questions her parents asked her.
