Kotomi gathered her green suitcase together and hugged Jared at the door.

"I guess this is goodbye." Jared pulls Kotomi in for another hug. He silently sheds a tears and quickly wipes it before Kotomi can see it.

"Call me everyday, once you find a place to stay, I can send you money." Jared says frantically holding his hands together.

"It's just out of town besides, I'll still be attending classes at Barfield so nothing's changed."

Kotomi waves goodby and pulls her suitcase down the street waiting for taxis to arrive. Once she gets a taxi she tells him to drive her to the Barfield Train Station. She gets out of the car once they've arrived and pays the taxi driver before he speeds off to the next customer eager for his money. She smells the air of the wind blowing a few strands of hair onto her face.

"So this is what solitude smells like ? It totally sucks." Kotomi frowns as she enters the station and after several checking points, she buys a metro card with the money on her and fills it with thirty dollars. She passes through the last check point and heads for the train as it opens its door. She puts one foot in front of the other and slowly steps forward and then she hears her name.

"Kotomi!" She recognizes that voice, it was Dwight. But why had he come all the way here, she thought he didn't care about her. The truth was, he didn't care about her but he didn't want to be the reason Blaze, wouldn't see her mother again. She turns around.

"Dwight ? Why are you here ? Have you come to stop me from going?"

"No. I just thought you would like to spend a couple of minutes with your daughter before you leave."

"Oh." Dwight puts Blaze down and straightens his jacket. While Kotomi brings Blaze into her arms and lifts her high making Blaze smile and giggle. "See I've still got it!" Kotomi smiles and laughs along with Blaze.

"What ?" Dwight scratches his head as he watches the obvious bond between his daughter and Kotomi. Even though his heart was turned to stone around her, he couldn't help but chuckle and he warmed up too.

Kotomi stares at the clock. She hands Blaze back to Dwight. "I must be going now or I'll miss by ride."

"Okay. You can go." She starts leaving until Dwight wants to say something again. "Wait."

Kotomi turns back around. "What is it ?"

"Are you planning to take me to court ?" He said jokingly'

"Yes." Kotomi smiles briefly as both hands hold the handle of her green luggage.

Dwight gets surprised. "But why ?"

"To get shared custody. And I plan to appeal every time until I do so."

Dwight is speechless so he bows his head in respect. He smiles as him and Blaze watch Kotomi board the train and wave goodbye to them. Uncertain when their paths would cross again but Dwight was thinking pretty soon.
