When it came to a journey, someone was bound to get off at some point and say goodbye.

When it was time for Cloud to go back, everyone sent him off at the airport.

Cloud held Lilly in his arms, a backpack on his back.

That was all he had on him. Two sets of clothes and a bottle of water, as he rushed off to wherever he had to be.

Cloud did not want to let go of Lilly, nagging at her before he left. “Lilly, be good and listen to Grandma! I’m not home all the time, please take care of her for me…”

Lilly nodded. “Mmhmm! Don’t worry, Uncle Cloud!”

Cloud wanted to tell her to remember to call him, but found that he could not bring himself to do such a simple thing.

The nature of his job made it impossible for him to pick up the phone if his family called. Sometimes, he would even need to cut his family off entirely if his job required it.

Other people could call home to talk to their parents if they got homesick.

If he got homesick, all he could do was look at the moon… the one thing that was constant wherever he was.

“Take care.” Blake stroked Lilly’s head, his heart aching. “You might be all grown up the next time I see you.”

It was one of his regrets, not being able to grow up with her.

“Don’t forget Uncle Cloud, alright?” Cloud said half-jokingly.

Lilly nodded. “Don’t worry, Uncle Cloud. I won’t forget you. You can pass on in peace… no, I mean, you can leave in peace!”

Cloud was speechless.why did it feel like changing the phrasing didn’t really do much?

He let out a chuckle, stroking Lilly’s head adoringly. “You and that brain of yours.”

Lilly held onto Cloud’s neck, pecking him on the cheek. “I wish Uncle Cloud the best of health, wealth, prosperity, luck, hopes, love, and dreams!”

Cloud took out an envelope of money…

Oh, he hadn’t brought an envelope. Cloud felt around his pockets, taking out two hundred bucks and handing it to Lilly. “Alright, my darling girl.”

Lilly broke out into a dazzling beam.
