[Clow, Mana is already logged out...]
Alter was suddenly second guessing going to Kyoto at all, but then again, she sure as hell didn't want to stay at home. As a matter of fact... Without a word, she logged out and got up from her seat, again just plain, ordinary Alex... and at that, a sharp pain hit her heart. It got her every time she logged out of The World, like she'd left a piece of herself in that virtual world and only by being there could she get it back... it was something she couldn't find in reality..
Alex walked over to her bed and finished packing her bookbag with her essentials and what not, her knapsack full of snacks and stuff, and her pockets full of trinkets and other things. Just then, she remembered something and ran to her PC, typing up an e-mail to Dakado. It was a request to meet at the airport before they headed off to Kyoto.. after all, she didn't want to go alone. She gave instructions on how to know which was her and hoped he'd care enough to follow them. Imediately after sending it, she typed up another note, leaving it there, and grabbed her black hoodie, her things from her bed, and jumped out her open window, shimmying down her gutter and now came the long walk tot he airport for tomorrow...
Back in her room, Alex's bed was made, her room picked up, though unusually empty and on her dresser was a watch, a phone, and a small roll of dollar bills. Her computer left on and the only thing open on the screen was a word document which read the following...
To my parents:
you got your wish, i'm now out of your life. On my dresser, you'll find the money you claim i owe you, take it and leave me the hell alone.
To my few friends:
you know how to reach me if needed... Take care of yourselves
To anyone else who cares:
Goodbye..
