Camilla stared, dumbfounded at what was happening. first the man told her not to worry, and that she didn't have to go. Of course she did, she was just told to by the guy in the wall. With all the talk of danger ahead it seemed that the guy in the wall needed helped,though she really couldn't do anything.

The man left and next came Abby. starting with "He's right" it seemed as though they could both go back and be happy, but in contradiction she continued, confirming that she was leaving. She didn't even say goodbye. She just turned her back and left.

Everyone was telling her to stay as they left and soon it was only her and the second man. Turning to him she gave a soft sigh. "Uhm... are you going to?" She asked hesitantly, "You don't have to."

She hoped that he might say no, and come back to safety with her, to the city of dreams. Maybe there was another way back home. But a smaller voice knew that he too would leave, just as the men always did. He would leave to help the man in the wall and his friend and maybe even Abby. He was an adult and a man and that's what they did.
