"E—ik."
"ERIK!"
Rebecca's voice snapped Erik's back to attention. A flying car just arrived at the Band of Giants' parking lot.
"Are you ok?"
Erik paused. "Yes…"
Rebecca turned to June.
"Make sure he returns to normal once you leave the city."
"I will," June said.
Rebecca then looked at Erik. "Remember, the car will bring you two kilometers from the city. After that, it's up to you."
Erik nodded. Rebecca was worried. She tried to convince Erik not to leave the city, but he was adamant. He was leaving. She looked at him with longing as he entered the flying car.
Erik nodded solemnly, acknowledging Rebecca's concerns but remaining steadfast in his decision.
The car's engine hummed to life, breaking the tense silence as they pulled away from the parking lot.
