That night, there were no stops. She returned home with the sun still high. Washed and folded all her clothes to put them in the suitcase. Didn't want to carry too much weight. Then she cleaned the entire house, collected photos, documents, notes, books, everything... that place needed to look abandoned, without any trace of life.
Kira waited until nightfall to leave, a giant bag with belongings in each hand. The weight made it difficult for she to walk properly but was able to get on the bus. Then, she got off at the last stop, blocks from the dump; remembered been there before, with his cousin, to see how the cars were crushed until they were thin as a sheet.
She entered the place, sometimes dragging the bags. Chose a red car, which looked like it had just arrived from a brutal crash; opened the doors, the inside smelled of citronella and lemon. Arching his face, placed both bags in the back seats, then grabbed a nearby bucket of gasoline and set it on fire. She walked a few meters away, hidden among scrap metal, to make sure that everything turned to ashes. Knew the schedule, no one would go until dawn, and no one would be surprised to see smoke coming from a place like that.
After a few hours, she approached, when there was little left of the fire, looked out to check his work and nodded satisfied.
The next thing was to buy the ticket, the city would be their new home. She would start from scratch, abandoning his past.
-A one-way ticket to Nucin City. It's a day and a half of travel, the young woman handed her the ticket, smiling-. Be here at six in the morning to check out the suitcases.
-Thank you- she said, putting the ticket in her shoulder bag.
-Oh, I have to put you on the list. What's your name?
“Don’t tell her”
-Lyra- responded after a few seconds of thinking.
New home. New name.
Just new things were coming.
