Ken sat on the edge of the bed while his friends Adam and Kaito stood in front of him, concern etched on their faces.
Adam: "Ken... are you serious about this journey? You're still young, and you don't have enough strength yet!"
Ken replied with a sarcastic smile: "I'm strong enough, Adam. No one will stop me."
Adam, his voice filled with fear: "But... this isn't just an ordinary journey. I just don't want to lose you."
Kaito stepped closer to Ken, his eyes filled with seriousness: "Ken, this journey won't end well. It could be deadly."
Ken let out a quiet laugh: "Kaito, do you think I'll die at the hands of Cyrus? Impossible, I'll turn him into mashed potatoes."
Akio, who had been listening silently, approached with curiosity: "Cyrus? Who is this Cyrus?"
Ken replied mysteriously: "Just a little bug that I'll crush soon."
Akio looked at Ken in confusion and then said: "Wait... do you mean... the King of Rakoya?"
Ken nodded and answered in a cold tone: "Yes, him. The king who made my life a hell."
Akio was shocked for a moment, but he composed himself and asked eagerly: "So... will this be a journey of revenge?"
Ken smiled firmly: "Yes."
Akio, smiling and excited: "I like that! I won't leave you alone on this journey. I have a big dream too, and you know that."
Ken: "Our goals are different, but we're on the same path. So, let's get started."
Adam sighed sadly: "Just... be careful, Ken. I don't want to lose you."
Ken, with a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, I'll come back stronger than I was."
Ken began packing his belongings, and then he stood at the door with a bag on his back, with Kaito and Adam standing beside him, while Yoko and Akio stood nearby.
Adam began to cry softly as he looked at Ken with tearful eyes: "Please, always keep in touch with me. Never leave us. And... take care of yourself, Ken."
Ken: "No need to worry, I'll always be fine."
Kaito, with a serious expression and his usual calmness, looked at Ken and asked: "What about school, Ken? Are you going to leave it so easily?"
Ken, with a calm smile and confidence: "It can be postponed for now. I have more important things to achieve."
Then Ken turned to Yoko, who was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, and asked her: "And what about you, Yoko? What do you plan to do now?"
Yoko smiled with a slightly enthusiastic tone, saying: "I'm going on my own adventure. I escaped from my aunt's house, who didn't treat me well... and now I want to explore the world and see everything for myself."
Akio, with an encouraging smile: "That's great, Yoko! I wish you luck with that!"
Ken looked at his friends one by one, then said in a strong tone: "This is not a goodbye, but a new beginning. We will change and grow, and we will meet again, stronger than we were."
Adam wiped his tears with a sad smile: "Just don't make me need another goodbye, Ken."
Kaito with a simple sigh: "Well, Ken, I hope you find what you're looking for and achieve the justice you seek."
Ken: "Thank you all, and now goodbye..."
Then Ken walked out the door, with Akio and Yoko following him, leaving behind a place filled with their memories, and an unknown future waiting for them.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Yoko turned towards Ken and Akio, taking a deep breath as she prepared to embark on her own journey away from them. She looked at Ken with a small smile, her eyes sparkling with a hint of hesitation and nostalgia. Her cheeks flushed slightly whenever her eyes met his, but she was trying hard to hide it.
Ken lit his cigarette and took a deep puff with a calm expression, then turned his head towards Yoko.
Ken: "What a day."
Yoko smiled gently, trying to hide her embarrassment: "Ken, you need to take good care of yourself. Defeating Cyrus is very difficult and hard to comprehend."
Yoko extended her hand to shake Ken's, looking a bit tense, and said: "And now it's time for us to part ways again. I wish you all the best!"
Yoko felt her heart race when her hand touched Ken's.
Ken said in a calm tone: "Alright, Yoko. We'll meet again when each of us has our own story."
Yoko looked down shyly and then raised her head with an optimistic smile: "Yes... I will be waiting for that day!"
Then she turned and walked away, leaving Ken and Akio behind, each staring down their own path.
