In the middle of the night Rena was still walking about the city, having too many things to think about. Steps found her at the last place she expected though and she paused before entering. A look around at all the headstones and memorials for family and friends departed from this realm and she realized this was the perfect place for her and her thoughts. She stopped a statue nearby and headed that way, taking care to avoid stepping on any graves or broken stones that had been vandalized. Not looking at the name on the statue, she put her left hand on it and whispered "Good bye, my friend".

She stood there a few more minutes then glanced up. A shooting star went by, and remembering a child story, made a wish. Eventually she turned and retraced her steps out of the cemetery and headed home.
