After spending two days with his family, the last day finally arrived.
As Lucas waited to board the plane, he was excited for this new phase, but, at the same time, the thought of being away from his family made him a little nervous. Soon he heard familiar footsteps approaching and turned to see his parents and Hana, his younger sister, arriving.
"Oni-chan!" exclaimed Hana, running to hug him with all the strength her little arms could muster. "I'm going to miss you! Who's going to help me with my math homework now?"
Lucas smiled, stroking her hair. "I'll be away, but that doesn't mean I won't be around, okay? Anything, just call me and I'll help you via video."
John, Lucas's father, approached and placed a firm hand on her shoulder, smiling proudly and affectionately at the same time. It was rare to see that emotional gleam in the eyes of his father, who was usually more withdrawn because of work.
