-Heads out the door, with one last wave-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?To be there to see your work done. And to be thanked.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Follows him in, heading up to the console-
... Never be afraid to say what you're thinking around me.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?You've mentioned them before. What exactly happened, Cloud?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?...Nothing happened.
...
I was on my way home, and everything went white, and then I was here.
...
Some things happened when I was here, and... and when I tried to... when I tried to kill myself, when I got bad enough, I messed up.
By the time anyone found me, I found out it had been four thousand years. They died a long time ago.
...
Someone — someone like Tifa, she probably found someone else, though, right? So she wouldn't be alone. She deserved someone else...
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon Alchemist... I left my family behind as well. It wasn't meant to be forever. But... that's how it ended up being.
...
They're all gone now.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?...
Because there was so many things I could do. So many things I could see. And that wasn't something I could do if I stayed behind on Gallifrey, wasting away. Becoming irrelevant.
That's what I told myself then, anyway.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Just nods, still staring at the console-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?...
Sometimes, I wonder if I could make it so I never wound up here, and everyone would die...
...
I don't know if I would do it.
...
...Everyone leaves, though. Lancelot left... Minato left... Boris left... Joshua left... Ryoji —
...Aven's leaving, too. With Fen. I want him to stay, but then he would just be unhappy. I hurt him a lot. I try not to, but it happens anyway.
You'll leave me, too. And I'll find someone new to be my family. And they'll leave, and it will hurt. Gordon will leave. Karkat will leave. Everyone here has something to leave for.
They're happy, though... that's what matters.
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon Alchemist-Takes out a key-
Everything is always changing. I've left a lot behind. Places. People. But there's no shame in holding onto the things you really want for as long as you can.
You've done a lot for me. And for her. She wants you to have this.
-Presses it into his palm-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?You'll have a place you'll always be welcome in.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

-Nods-
I'll be back. I'm not going to abandon you, or this place or anyone in it. I promise.
