He watched the two leave the dorm and right as the door shut he could feel a lump in his stomach, feeling guilty for not coming with them. He should feel guilty for the numerous amount of times he had forgotten homework and being scolded by his father but nothing was more heart wrenching than forgetting homework and friends leaving you behind. The scene he'd imagine in his head was more dramatic, " ALBUS SENPAI! DON'T! COME WITH US! " Magic rain was falling, Echo grabbing his hand and yanking him off the bed, " COME! TO THE MAGICAL LAND! " Echo shouted. Albus snickered at the thought, he moved his textbooks off his lap and walked out of the room. He turned and shut the door and walked down the hallway. As he walked down the hall he felt his phone vibrating against his knee, " Oh... " He said with a low voice as his left hand grabbed the phone out of his pockets. Albus, thinking it was his far had answered the call without knowing that it was actually an unknown caller, " Dad? What do you want? " He said with a sarcastic voice, " If this is about losing Donald...I don't want to talk about it! " 

"For your sake. Don't lose." The voice on the other side was calm and slow. The person on the other end then became silent, but the call did not end. 

Albus didn't recognize the voice, he didn't know what he meant. " H-...what? W-..God dammit! Who the fuck is this? " Albus said with a stern voice. If  Echo really had released his phone number...he'd be pissed at her. 

The voice still did not respond, and a few moments later, the call was dropped without a word.

Albus was really pissed now. He continued walking though his pace was much faster and his steps were louder. " God dammit Echo... " Albus said as he frowned. About 15 to 20 minutes later, after taking the  Air Ship towards Vale, Albus made his way towards the festival grounds somewhere in Vale. After walking around the grounds he'd notice Echo and only Echo, he inhaled and exhaled deeply and walked towards the group of people at the Noodles Stand.
