That feeling that hits you when you know you won't be seeing a place again for some time had struck Sakura as she finished preparing for her departure. Hakai shared the same feeling as they had bags prepared for this journey, not a single word was shared between the two as they didn't know what the other was thinking.
Hakai stole a glance at Sakura's back as she was finished, his head was filled with thoughts about her mental state. She already told him what Seiya wanted to tell him and he was certain of how much he'd contribute to this expedition.
'' I've been trying to do my best and it always seems to fall short of the mark. I have to do better, Seiya's words just drives the point home further. '' His thoughts reflected on his past performances and while he was originally their senior, he felt as if he was falling behind. He didn't like this feeling, who would?
'' Hey, you ready to go?'' Sakura quickly exclaimed to Hakai.
