"So, how did you think of attaching that cable to the speaker?"
"I'm going to be honest with you, I didn't know what I was doing. Luck I guess" Sykkuno answered and the interviewer froze for a second.
"Wow, that must be a big relief for you both! Now Corspe, how did you react when you heard that help is coming?"

But Corpse just looked down and didn't answer. He was mentally still in space with Sykkuno. It was weird how he now gets to finally see all his friends, yet he wanted to go back. Go back to being alone with only one person. Maybe, The Only One.

"I am sorry" Corpse grabbed Sykkunos hand and dragged him outside. You could say that the live interview was over.

They were walking on a busy street with a bunch of restaurants and stores when a girl recognized them and started following them. She was very creepy. The way she tried to be sneaky, took pictures and giggled. Of course Corpse noticed her and quickly reacted by hiding among people. It seemed like she was gone, for now at least.

Sykkuno didn't really say much. He was just going right beside Corpse.
"We should rest now Sykkuno. It has only been two hours since we landed here and everyone make me feel... bad."
"Oh, are you ok?"
"I'm going to be fine if I get to rest a little, and you should rest too, trust me."
"Ok then we should go... where are we supposed to go? Like, we have just been in space, this world feels so small now that we have seen it from afar."
Corpse nodded and looked first up in the right corner, then down in the left corner. He took off his mask and leaned forward to Sykkuno, but Sykkuno took a step back.
"No Corpse! Put your mask back on!"
"What? Why?" Corpse was confused and smirked. "It's not like there's some kind of sickness going around."
"Right. Sorry but I still feel nervous when you are that close to me."
"Huh?"
"I... you should go home. Your house is here right?"
In fact, they were standing right in front of Sykkunos house.
"Yes. Yes it is my house. I, I should go. See you."
Corpse didn't take his eyes of Sykkuno while he was walking in to the building.
"Sykkuno-", Corpse shouted, "pick up then I call you ok?"
"Of course, Corpse. Of corpse."
"Funny" said Corpse.
"I know" said Sykkuno.

Sykkuno did receive a call from Corpse. Three months later. Corpse asked him to meet up nearby the dorm they were living in when they were preparing for going out to space.  Sykkuno agreed but when he was putting on shoes he stopped. He stared into nothing and saw himself in the mirror after a while.

Did Corpse say that he was bringing his girlfriend?
