ORIGIN

"Speech." After Kallista found Todd, she made the promise to never leave his side. And she was damn well going to keep that promise. She stayed next to him for days - was it cycles by now? - and made sure to never leave. She walked with him everywhere. Sometimes, were moments where it seemed like she lost him, and she'd panic as she frantically looked around for him. But he never wandered far, and she never wandered far.

By his side, for the first time in many, many cycles, she felt safe. Like nothing could hurt her. Nothing could hurt either of them.

As long as she had Todd, she was going to be okay.
