Summary
Lance returns to the farm after the war and tries to figure out who he is without Voltron. He misses his friends desperately- especially Keith.
...
Lance looks out over the pastures, the ridge of mountains lining the coast, the oaks and palms swaying where they line the fields… it’s all exactly as he remembers. It feels like being on the castleship, looking at the map of the universe, realizing the distance between him and Earth. Here’s home, and this is where I am– far, far away.
That night, Lance stays awake, listening to the insects and staring at the dark walls. He traces over the naked wood, feeling the grain that’s too dark to see in the shadows. He did the same thing at his parents’ house, looking at his peeling, sun-bleached posters and waiting for the familiar longing they used to bring.
As if by muscle memory, the feelings finally come. It’s an old and familiar sensation; a cavernous ache opening beneath his ribs, as if he’s trying to rise up and swell into something larger, something that can’t be contained by the four creaking walls of the farmhouse. Something that takes him away, makes him new, turns him into something greater.
