And, as always, the 17th of August came around, and Atton felt like shit.
("You don't even have August in your galaxy," Summer had said, and what a joke that was - like Atton hadn't been inextricably bound to this galaxy as much as his own since the days he first limped into Fandom.)
But he had made plans. So with difficulty, he found it in him to roll out of bed, and brush his teeth. Even managed to shovel some breakfast into his mouth. Put on pants. The works. An hour later, he and Dane limped to the subway (he was limping, at least) with their hiking bags packed and the furrowed brows of men on a somber mission.
He thought about cracking a joke about that, but he couldn't think of anything funny. Instead they rode the silence all the way to the park. Into the wilds. Until they took a familiar turn, brushed under familiar trees, and found a familiar monument.
They took a moment there.
( In which Atton tries to put a few things to rest. )

Apparently, Atton now liked hiking enough that he was willing to go do it without his weird, nature-obsessed roommate. He didn't know what to do with that information. He was pretty sure Summer would agree it was a sign he had lost his karking mind.
On the other hand, it had taught him a few things about relaxing and letting go.
Which would be why he was here, and why he'd asked Lana to join him here today instead of at the practice space. He found himself hovering not far from the upcoming portal location, on a parking lot, a vast field of asphalt sitting there looking weird in front of the natural splendor behind him.
Ugh.
