I'm curious, Garden. There are a lot of us here, and I've been wondering. What are your dreams? What is the one thing you really want to do?

/let's pretend this isn't late

[bratbeyond]

To tell my family I'm okay.

[For once, the post's unsigned, but it still has his Cadet number.]

Never late!

[seethelanterns]

They think something happened to you before you came here?

excellent ♥

[bratbeyond]

Not exactly. :/ My parents have jobs that're kind of dangerous sometimes, so they sometimes blame stuff on their jobs... even if it wasn't related to them at all.

[seethelanterns]

Oh? Well, I hope you get to go home to let them know you're okay sometime. And I hope your parents are okay, if their jobs really are all that dangerous.

[bratbeyond]

If I don't get to go home, I'd at least like to leave a letter or something. :(

My parents'll be fine. It won't be the first time they've saved the world while I was gone.

[seethelanterns]

It would be nice if we could have let people from home know we are okay.

Save the world? Wow.

[bratbeyond]

They're superheroes. Well, Mom is. Dad just provides support.

[seethelanterns]

A super hero?

[bratbeyond]

Someone who fights crime with the powers Allah God gave them that they received or inherited.

Usually, their identities are anonymous.

[seethelanterns]

Oh. Well, why are their identities anonymous?

[bratbeyond]

Because if people knew who they were, they might hurt their families. :(

[seethelanterns]

To try get them to stop being superheroes, you mean? I guess I can see why some might not want people to know who it is, then.

[bratbeyond]

Yeah. It's pretty normal where I come from, and I wanna be like them when I grow up...

But while I'm here? I just wanna be the best me I can be.

[seethelanterns]

I think that's all anyone can ask of you.
