Chapter 16: Of all the planets...
It took all morning for Nick to calm Luna down, and even when he walked her to school, she was still quite an emotional wreck.
Nick had to constantly reassure her over and over again that he wouldn’t die, and that he was strong now, not weak like before.
But even then, this only calmed her down enough to stop her crying, she was still quite emotional inside. However, this was only something that time could help her with.
Losing both of their parents had left quite the trauma on her mind, so even considering the possibility of losing her last living relative — her brother who she loved more than anything in the world — scared her to her core.
She didn’t know what she would do if he died, and so she was sent into a spiralling wreck hearing the kind of beasts he was up against.
’Hopefully school will help take her mind off of things...’
Nick could only sigh internally.

After dropping Luna off at school, Nick immediately made his way back towards the teleporter.
Normally he would take the maglev train over, but his new apartment was closer, so he switched to getting the bus as it was quicker and more convenient.
The idea of getting his own personal car wasn’t even entertained in Nick’s mind, as not only were they extremely expensive, more than even a Mutant Beast Armament, but there were strict rules and regulations of who could and couldn’t drive on the roads on Planet Terminus.
