Leave The World Behind Explained Novels & Stories

"Take care of her. Please." "I will." Tears streaming. "I promise." He fades completely. Gone. Dead. Sacrificed. Luna collapses. Screaming. Crying. Broken. I pull her into my arms.

Like it was trying to stay alive. The dark roared. The pull got sharper. “Kieran,” I whispered. My voice was breaking. “I don’t want our story to be about us being apart.” “It’s not,” he said. “It’s about crossing over.” “Those are the same thing when you are the one left behind.” He closed his eyes for a second. When he opened them, they were burning. “You are not being left behind. The world is holding you. And I am being thrown into it. That is not the same as being left alone.”

“Wake up? But—” “That’s the only way back to your world.” “But I don’t know how to get back to my world,” I said. “You do,” he replied. “You always did. You just didn’t know it yet.” His gaze held mine, steady. “I’ll see you on the other side.” Something in the way he said it made me believe him. I closed my eyes and then the world vanished into black.

She had forgiven him, but she had not said she would stay. Even when facing a dying man, she would not offer false hope or kind lies. Ethan closed his eyes. A wave of grief washed over him. At the same time, there was a strange peace beneath it. Maybe this was what he deserved. He breathed out, voice barely audible, "If we could start fresh in our next life, I'll treat you right… I promise." With that final whisper, he let go. Ethan was gone.

As they crossed the threshold, she had stopped and turned around one last time to look at this whole new world she had discovered, once called home and was now about to leave behind. "Goodbye Plane Woede and all its hinterlands," she whispered, then straightened her shoulders and walked into the portal. On the other side was this thick forest of trees. And it was night over here as well. Once they had crossed over, Everette had hurried her along citing her concern for Wayne's possible pursuit.

The next day. Selena, Celia, Pearl, Sandy, Julia, and Amelia all said goodbye to David and went home. Celeste asked them to prepare quickly, and they should leave Earth with her after they settled their families.

It was unknown when they would be back after they left. It would also be unknown when they would see their parents again in the future.

she asked worriedly. “I have something to say, Mirai.” I said and smiled sadly, then turned to everyone and I cleared my throat, “I just wanted to let you know I am leaving. Thank you very much for accepting me. I have been in this world for a long time and it is time for me to return to the place where I belong because the portal to our world finally opened. Thank you very much and I will never forget you all.” I said, smiling at them, and everyone was making noise while praising me with their kind words. They are very thankful for my help. I just returned them with a smile.
