Homecoming-Emily

When I exit the familiar alley going through the door the lighting changes. We enter into a dark room that only has two chairs sitting in the middle of it. Kawa takes a seat and holds a remote in her hand as she gestures for me to take the other.

"What are we doing here?" I question her as I take the seat she offered.

"Try to stow your questions child. In this place all of the answers you receive will come from within you. I know that is hard for someone like you who is so used to getting answers. I will say that you need your patience to complete this journey. Now turn your eyes to the screen and we can begin" she says leaving my gaze.

Scenes start to play on the television. I watch as a man who has seen better days picks up a baby from a trashcan in the very alley that we have just left. I watch as he takes the child with him and raises him with so much love. He dotes on the child while still teaching him many valuable things. The screen pauses for a moment on the face of the boy.
