"....What did you just say to me?"
Kai looked up at him, finally for the first time in his life, finding his strength
"I said no! I'm not going home, dad. I finally found someone who makes me happy-w-who likes me for the way I am.....and I'm not just going to leave him behind!!!"
".....-sigh-...You know what...Fine, If you really believe he's the one t-then...Then be with him..."
He looked up at him, eyes wide as he held Jake
"Wait wait wait, what?"
"Don't make me change my mind..."
He smiled brightly
"Thank you..."
". . ."
He turns around and slowly sicks down into the water, followed by the rest
He let out a small sigh of relief
"....I did not expect that..."
"...Me either..."
