Even Verdant leaned against the glass walls of the airship, occasionally glancing out, but mostly just enjoying the moment. He thought about what his sister would be doing around now. She'd probably still be practicing piano, if she wasn't asleep. With that thought ended he flipped to a different playlist on his music player.

He looked out the window and saw the school reveal itself in the distance. At Lighthouse he had always been able to find everything so easily. How was he ever going to navigate an academy with so many walls? He'd figure something out. No good would come from worrying about it too much.

He remembered the last words Morgan had left him with at the dock, "You have no-one to prove anything to. Your sister and I are already proud of you. Your parents' opinions shouldn't matter. The most important thing for you is that you be true to who you are. Don't ever change for anyone you care about less than yourself. I have no doubt that who you are, Who you will be, is someone the whole world can be proud of. Take care kiddo."

He smiled. His parents didn't matter to him anymore, at least that's what he had convinced himself. And as for being true to himself, when had he ever tried to be anyone else? By definition he could only ever be himself. He might as well be the best himself that he could be. After all, he didn't like what had happened to him in Austentinople. He never wanted to lose control like that again.

And at that moment he decided he wouldn't. He started to walk towards the doors to the airship when it began to approach the dock at Beacon. He paused his music as the doors opened and people shuffled out. Was that someone sitting on the floor? He walked over to the girl who seemed oddly spaced out. He leaned over to get closer to eye level, "Hey, dude? Is everything ok?"
