When they heard the news, it was a shock to everyone.
"We found Duncan next to the redwood tree. I'm afraid it was too late to save him."
Everyone stayed quiet after that. Neither Gwen nor Courtney spoke. They went back to the plane, quietly. They ate, did their challenge, ate again, and got ready for bed.
Quietly.
It is very festive on the plane; Sora Kokoro's single, a cover "Sayonara~Sweet Days" was starting to end. Everyone laughed and played, listening happily. As Duncan walked out, the song "Graduation" began to play.
"This is really sudden, I bet. I also bet Courtney is mad," The delinquent began, smiling at the CIT.
"But it had to end somehow. I know I've ruined every hint of fragile peace you guys had. And I'm sorry. I'm also sorry we could never really enjoy our time together.
I guess the real thing I regret, is making Gwen and Courtney's lives so hard. Not a day goes by that I don't realize that. I wish I could have kissed both of you before I went; but still, Courtney would be mad.
To everyone: I'm sorry, really truly sorry. For everything. Tell everyone back at the Aftermath I said that.
To Esper and Chris: Stay crazy.
To my team: Owen, big guy, I love you. Keep making out with Izzy, and try to lose some weight, kay? Noah: Sorry for trying to cut your lip. Tyler: Try not to wind up in the hospital, bud. Izzy: Stay safe and tell the RCMP to kiss my ass.
And Alejandro: You and me are both alike; we want everyone to think we're strong when we're really a couple o' pansies underneath. But I know you can really be strong. Just keep trying. You can do it.
I really want you all to change the world for me, even though I couldn't. But I know you guys can. Just keep fighting and beileving in everything you love, no matter what. Okay?
And finally for Courtney and Gwen: Thank you guys for everything. I love you both."
Then, Duncan vanished, and the song stopped.
Teams Amazon and CIRRRRH, along with DJ, were circling around the table with a note Duncan had written before he died. Alejandro was holding the note, shaking and crying. Courtney was hugging Gwen tightly, crying as well. Pretty much everyone else was crying too. Chris and Esper watched over them sadly.
Goodbye, Sweet Days. The note said at the bottom.
From Duncan.
