"I love you, Mutter." I say tearfully at the station.
"Ich weiß... I love you too, Jana Albrecht." my mother replies, sniffling a bit. My father hugs me too.
"Jana. Stay safe." he tells me in a low voice.
"I'll do my best." I answer, standing up straighter.

I know what I must do.

"Goodbye, Jana." my mother chokes.

Goodbye...is this the final goodbye?
Is it?
I know what I saw.
I think it might be.
We all know that.

"Goodbye, Mutter und Vater." I say, giving them each one last hug.
One last hug.

I know what I have seen.
I may not survive.
My family may not survive.
Please, save my family.
Please.

They wave to me. One last wave.

Goodbye...

The train begins to leave. I jump onto it.

I don't look back.
