"Congratulations!" My mother tells me once I meet with her again after getting the diploma and taking all the pictures.

"Thanks!" I practically squeal, inevitable tears running down my face and smudging my make up. It's over. Finished. The words cross my mind and make me cry even more. It's just... not easy to think I'll never ever live what I lived in here again. However, any moment in life is like this. Damn, whatever, I want to be sad about this and done, it's worth it.

She pulls away and cups my face, "I can't believe how it happened so fast!" There are a few tears running down her face. Shaking my head lightly, I wipe them away.

"Don't cry." I mutter, smiling, but not even being able to contain my own tears.

"I need to! Take a look at the moment!" She says and I nod, bringing her for a hug again. None of us say anything and I finally pull away, still smiling.

Then, I step aside and hug Frank immediately. He chuckles a bit at the urgency, but hugs back equally tightly. "Congrats!" He mutters then plants a kiss on my cheek. I thank him, smiling, and decide to rest my head on his shoulder; an attempt to calm myself down. It feels like a million of things run through my mind at once and that I'll explode in any moment. The feeling of his hand running up and down my back - or maybe his presence itself - makes me feel a lot better.

"(N/n)," I feel a hand touching my shoulder and look up, seeing it's mom. "I'll be heading home now, okay? I don't know when you'll be back, but I'll leave some dinner in the fridge just in case, okay?" Her eyes moves from mine to Frank's a few times before resting over mine.

"Oh," I blink a few times, pulling away from Frank, "but we can head home with you now-"

"No, no, no!" Mom shakes her head, still smiling. "I'm sure you have many goodbyes to say or at least some 'see you later's, so take your time. See you home."

"See you." I say through a breathe and can't help but to curl the corners of my lips up too as watching her walk away. Once she's far enough, I turn back to Frank. "So, I don't think I really have anyone else to say goodbye to. Any suggestion on what to do?" His mood seems more serious now; he doesn't say a word, just takes my hand in his and start pulling me with him.

We walk in silence - which's weird, but I probably think the whole mood is weird because I'm not on my best state either - and just stop when reaching a square. It's near the school, the square itself is almost empty, however, people constantly walk by and there's a big movement in the school.

"(Y/n)," Frank says seriously, making me eye him oddly as we stop to stand facing each other. "I..." He breathes out. "Just a question." I move my gaze to his, preparing myself to pay attention at whatever he'll say. "What'd you think about living forever?"

"Living forever?" Odd question. "Well," I furrow my eyebrows, thinking. "if I'd consider it being just me, I don't think it'd be a good choice." I shake my head lightly. "I'd not have enough strength to see the world falling apart, perishing, and reconstructing itself again and again, seeing people dying, society changing and people suffering. I guess I'd go crazy in the first 50 years." I chuckle. "I'd know I'd have no escape from the miserable reality and this awful world, so..." I shrug. "I guess a mortal and normal life can be interesting itself. I'll live forever in the stars after I die and that's enough. Life's just worth it because it's not eternal. I know that sounds stupid," I furrow my eyebrows, laughing at myself. "but I like to think like this. Why?" I ask with a smile, finding the question interesting and wanting to know its reason.

Frank just allows his emotions to show for a single second in which he furrows his eyebrows lightly, but he quickly goes back to normal. "I guess..." He exhales before pressing his lips together, pausing and inhaling to continue. "I believe you remember our deal's therms and... well, today is the 30th day." He looks at me obviously expecting my answer. I don't have one.
