Like many people, Risika had her reasons for both going home and rejecting the cab offer; and like the good celebrity's kid he is, Ethan didn't ask to find out more.

Caden, watching Elazu being carried away, waved back awkwardly (as if he's never had to wave goodbye to someone before). The dark-haired boy called him "Foggy", and Caden had a feeling that this wasn't going to be the last time someone called him by that name. Caden waved again as Ethan took him up on his shoulders, and walked slowly back towards the dorm.

THE END.
