"Hey, Mysta...?" you mumble, roused from your sleep by the noise outside.

All at once, the room falls silent as everyone's attention shifts slowly to you. Their expressions seem fraught with worry as if they're uncertain about what to do next.

"Did we wake you, (Name)? Sorry about that," Mysta apologizes, scooping you up.

You shake your head, assuring them it's fine. But you can't help wondering why they're all here. Glancing at the wall clock, you pause.

"It's almost 3 AM..." you murmur, tilting your head as you look at them.

"Well, we needed to discuss a few things. Sorry for the timing, but don't sweat it," Ike chimes in from the rear, his customary grin in place.

"Oh... Okay...," you reply with a sleepy yawn.

"Let's get you back to bed, all right?" Mysta suggests, to which you respond with a drowsy nod.

He carries you back to your room, lingering until sleep claims you once more.

-----------------✧------------------

"(Name)?" Mysta's voice gently pulls you from your slumber.

"We need to talk. Come with me for a bit," he continues, his arms scooping you up and leading you to the living room.

Still half-asleep, you respond with a sleepy hum and a nod.

"Alright," you mumble as you step into the living room, immediately sensing the tension in the air.

"What's going on?" you ask, your confusion evident.

"Well, you know I work as a detective, right?" Mysta begins cryptically.

"Yeah," you reply slowly, uncertainty tugging at you.

"This city... It's just not doing it for me anymore. I can't stay here any longer, so I've decided to move to another city," he says slowly, his words heavy with significance.

As his words sink in, your heart seems to drop.

"Wait... Does that mean I won't see you again?" you stammer, your voice wavering.

Mysta opens his mouth to respond but hesitates, his eyes reflecting a mix of emotions.

Tears begin to well up in your eyes, your voice trembling as you sniffle, "Please don't leave me."

You step towards him and embrace him tightly, your tears flowing freely.

Mysta returns the hug, holding you close. You sense the slight tremble in his embrace, matching the turmoil in your own heart.

"No, no, you'll see me again. I just can't say when," he murmurs, his voice soft.

"Promise?" you manage through your sniffles. "Promise, (Name)," he assures, his words offering a sliver of comfort.

You held onto each other, a silent understanding passing between you.

-----------------✧------------------

"Promise you'll come to visit, okay?" you plead, tugging at Mysta's shirt.

Mysta turns around, his eyes meeting yours. He crouches down a bit and pats your head gently. "I promise," he assures you.

You respond with a soft hum. "So... you're leaving today, right?"

"Yeah," Mysta confirms, his voice tinged with a touch of sadness.

"I guess I'll be seeing you again soon?" you say, a bittersweet smile on your lips.

"Yeah, you will. I'll make sure of it," Mysta replies, his voice wavering as tears gather in his eyes.

"Thank you for everything, Mysta. I know we’ll meet again soon, but I just want you to know how grateful I am for you for all this time," you say, your smile holding a touch of sadness.

"It's been my pleasure, (Name). And remember, I'll always be there with you," he reassures before standing up and giving you a final wave.

With a heavy heart, he turns away and starts walking towards the train.

As you watch him leave, your heart aches, but you hold onto the warmth of his promise and his presence that will stay with you, even in his absence.

-> Well, I guess this is it, although I know you probably won't see this (I hope you never do Mysta) but watching you was very fun, thank you.
