Ken sat on the edge of the bed while his friends Adam and Kaito stood in front of him, concern etched on their faces.


    Adam: "Ken... are you serious about this journey? You''re still young, and you don''t have enough strength yet!"


    Ken replied with a sarcastic smile: "I''m strong enough, Adam. No one will stop me."


    Adam, his voice filled with fear: "But... this isn''t just an ordinary journey. I just don''t want to lose you."


    Kaito stepped closer to Ken, his eyes filled with seriousness: "Ken, this journey won''t end well. It could be deadly."


    Ken let out a quiet laugh: "Kaito, do you think I''ll die at the hands of cirrus? Impossible, I''ll turn him into mashed potatoes."


    Akio, who had been listening silently, approached with curiosity: "Cirrus? Who is Cirrus?"


    Ken replied mysteriously: "Just a little bug that I''ll crush soon."


    Akio looked at Ken in confusion and then said: "Wait... do you mean... the King of Kaji Kingdom?"


    Ken nodded and answered in a cold tone: "Yes, him. The king who made my life a hell."


    Akio was shocked for a moment, but he composed himself and asked eagerly: "So... will this be a journey of revenge?"


    Ken smiled firmly: "Yes."


    Akio, smiling and excited: "I like that! I won''t leave you alone on this journey. I have a big dream too, and you know that."


    Ken: "Our goals are different, but we''re on the same path. So, let''s get started."


    Adam sighed sadly: "Just... be careful, Ken. I don''t want to lose you."

    Ken, with a reassuring smile: "Don''t worry, I''ll come back stronger than I was."


    Ken began packing his belongings, and then he stood at the door with a bag on his back, with Kaito and Adam standing beside him, while Yoko and Akio stood nearby.


    Adam began to cry softly as he looked at Ken with tearful eyes: "Please, always keep in touch with me. Never leave us. And... take care of yourself, Ken."


    Ken: "No need to worry, I''ll always be fine."


    Kaito, with a serious expression and his usual calmness, looked at Ken and asked: "What about school, Ken? Are you going to leave it so easily?"


    Ken, with a calm smile and confidence: "It can be postponed for now. I have more important things to achieve."


    Then Ken turned to Yoko, who was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, and asked her: "And what about you, Yoko? What do you plan to do now?"


    Yoko smiled with a slightly enthusiastic tone, saying: "I''m going on my own adventure. I escaped from my aunt''s house, who didn''t treat me well... and now I want to explore the world and see everything for myself."


    Akio, with an encouraging smile: "That''s great, Yoko! I wish you luck with that!"


    Ken looked at his friends one by one, then said in a strong tone: "This is not a goodbye, but a new beginning. We will change and grow, and we will meet again, stronger than we were."


    Adam wiped his tears with a sad smile: "Just don''t make me need another goodbye, Ken."


    Kaito with a simple sigh: "Well, Ken, I hope you find what you''re looking for and achieve the justice you seek."


    Ken: "Thank you all, and now goodbye..."


    Then Ken walked out the door, with Akio and Yoko following him, leaving behind a place filled with their memories, and an unknown future waiting for them.


    After saying goodbye to everyone, Yoko turned towards Ken and Akio, taking a deep breath as she prepared to embark on her own journey away from them. She looked at Ken with a small smile, her eyes sparkling with a hint of hesitation and nostalgia. Her cheeks flushed slightly whenever her eyes met his, but she was trying hard to hide it.


    Ken lit his cigarette and took a deep puff with a calm expression, then turned his head towards Yoko.


    Ken: "What a day."


    Yoko smiled gently, trying to hide her embarrassment: "Ken, you need to take good care of yourself. Defeating Cyrus is very difficult and hard to comprehend."


    Yoko extended her hand to shake Ken''s, looking a bit tense, and said: "And now it''s time for us to part ways again. I wish you all the best!"


    Yoko felt her heart race when her hand touched Ken''s.


    Ken said in a calm tone: "Alright, Yoko. We''ll meet again when each of us has our own story."


    Yoko looked down shyly and then raised her head with an optimistic smile: "Yes... I will be waiting for that day!"


    Then she turned and walked away, leaving Ken and Akio behind, each staring down their own path.
