Summary
Some call the wastes lawless. An endless stretch of nothing save for dry winds that rob one of their breath and sand their skin bare, broken up by scrounging rogues and outlanders who owe no honor to anyone. Where order goes to die.
At one time, Dysir thought this was a dramatic over-telling of the basic truth that when there is not enough to spare, those with less struggle the most. There are laws here, if one cared to know them. Nature's laws. One must be willing and able to do what is needed to survive.
With no skin to sand or breath to lose, Dysir found it far more bearable than he'd been warned about to live outside the laws of humans who feared the elements and animals within the wastes. A machine made to survive and endure taking to a vagabond's life seemed poetic even. Destined. He was made for this.
But now, he wasn't so sure. Not a single thing about the wastes was terrible--excluding the limited access to recharging stations at times--and yet every obstacle he could face with ease presented a new challenge he'd never considered since...
Why did he have to stop? Why could he not just ignore the pitiful crying?
Why was there even a baby out here to begin with?

Summary
He wished Jaron knew his excitement every time he wrote to a different boarding school, only to become crushed when he received no response. He wished he knew that he prayed for him every night, tears in his eyes as he made a wish upon every star, even the ones that weren’t his lucky ones. He wished he knew that on the rare nights that he did fall asleep peacefully, he would dream of the other boy, and how a desperate, bittersweet feeling would seize him as he awoke, a world he yearned for but was unable to grasp.
But even if Jaron were to come back now, it would be completely different. Would he still remember Roden? Would they still be the same as they were before?
Would they still be best friends?
