“Let’s go home. Together.”

My hand touches his, but nothing happens.  
Isn’t he a researcher?  
I want to go home too.  
But that right has been stripped from me.

“Can I go home...?”  

“Of course.”

“I don’t even know where home is.”

How will I find it?

“Let’s go together.”

So kind.  
He smiles at me.

“Shihu will be disappointed.”

“He won’t be.”

“I’m not a good person.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

He only says what sounds nice.  
Thank you.
