"Mom... make sure you don't cry too much after we're gone," Klaus said to his mother, hugging her one last time before he and his friends set off for the academy.
The last few days had been spent with her. During that time, she had changed Klaus's hairstyle nine different times. Clearly, she was going to miss him dearly.
Luckily, today, two other mothers were present with him. Cynthia Ross and Grace Felin had decided to come to say their goodbyes to their children before they left.
Because of their presence, Klaus's mom refrained from crying her eyes out. However, Klaus, who was hugging her, could sense the subtle shifts in her body. She was definitely going to cry as soon as she got the chance.
"Make sure you come to visit me soon, okay?" his mom said, brushing her hand through his hair.
"I will, Mom. You don't have to worry too much. I'll be back before you know it," Klaus said, breaking the hug.
