1:46 p.m.

Thomas rapped a claw against the desk, staring blankly at the whiteboard. Class was out in nine minutes. Thomas was smart, but never quite had a knack for physics. Another day another problem, he supposed. He looked up at the clock again, giving up the persistent fidgeting, wrapping his over his back legs.
-
1:48 p.m
-
Geez, the clock sure ticked slowly. Isn’t there anything more than this? He wondered, frowning. Growing more impatient by the passing, complacent, tick of the seconds, Thomas’s thoughts dispersed into what was a cacophonous symphony of “why” and “isn’t there more?” and “Does any of this matter?” Ideas boiling over in a tumultuous cesspool, Thomas’s mind raced, without realizing the kalon became tense, distant, cold.
-
1:55 p.m
-
The bell rang- bringing Thomas back to what he had known, the busy hallways, the snobby cliques, the absurd posters advertising clubs and the school board agenda that stood in stark contrast to the sickly-lit grimy white walls. Somewhere between physics and English did Thomas formulated a plan- a resolution that should nothing matter, he wouldn’t stick around a dump like this.
-
4:00 p.m.
-
Thomas has made up his mind- he was leaving. There was no reason for him to stay, really. It was unlikely anyone would make note of his absence, though he had drafted a note in such case. Thomas was never materialistic- he didn’t have much. Guess that’ll make my packing easy. He smirked, swiping aside a small bit of rations he had scraped up from the kitchen and packaging them up. He packed a pillow and some clothes- his favorites- though they hardly qualified as such. Silly one could love some old, grungy shirt and a tacky tourist necklace. He also set aside small cassette and a few various chargers, guess he could use a distraction and some navigation. With this, Thomas reckoned he was done packing, and headed down for dinner.

1:00 A.M. : The departure.
-
Thomas was never a kalon to be attached to trivial things. His house, in an odd manor, was one of them. Just the same as all the others in the city. He scoffed and slung the messenger bag over his shoulder, and headed out towards the skyline. Thomas wasn’t particularly trained to fight or fend for himself, but again, these things were trivial to him. He grabbed a bus, headed towards the outskirts of the city. He intended to leave the city, maybe stumble upon a village. Perhaps live in the forest for awhile. He had not intended to run in with a drunk, fight for his life, and end up wounded on the sidewalk at 3:00 A.M. But c’est la vie. In some cruel twist of fate, Thomas realized home is where he belonged.
-
3:00 A.M.
-
Thomas had gotten off the train in a rather sleezy district,and in his recent “nothing mattered” train of thought, decided to stop by the bar. This was mistake number one. Touseling up his hair and clearing his throat, he entered. Oddly enough, the bartender did not ID him, nor did he seem to care why a kid would reside in a place like this- more money for him. Thomas had a round of shots, a beer, and his fair share of fun gambling on some obscure football team. When he lost that gamble, though, his spinning, giddy world was brought to a halt. To him- this did not matter. To the bouncer? This was everything. A slurring, angry fit of rage bestowed Thomas when he was so rudely shaken by the bouncer who demanded his money- and the seething Thomas sprung himself upon the kalon. Of course, being only a teenager, Thomas stood no chance. Crowded upon by other interested onlookers the bouncer drove Thomas to the ground within a matter of seconds. When Thomas bit the bouncer- well- things turned for worse. Another kalon was involved, suddenly two, three, and four more were on top of him. He could not MOVE. And whoever did this to him was going to have the world to pay... If Thomas had not been knocked unconscious, that is. He was tossed aside by the tipsy onlookers as soon as he became unresponsive.

6:00 A.M.
-
Thomas didn’t remember what happened last night. only that he felt awful.He was bruised, dizzy, upset, and confused. He picked himself up, and hobbled towards the station. He didn’t want anything except home. He couldn’t find home. He didn’t remember home. He collapsed, unconscious again? He surely wasn’t aware of anything- his breathing was heightened, his senses dull. Was he bleeding? There was no knowing for sure.But he couldn’t grasp anything anymore... He didn’t know where he was...but he would sleep.
-
8:00 A.M, Two days later
-
Thomas awoke hooked up to machines and wires, everywhere, those machines and wires. He was tangled and drowsy but... comfortable? This wasn’t a hospital... it was too... wooded. But, whatever it was, he had been saved. They had taken him in and given him the care he needed. He resolved that whoever had shown him kindness, he would return it tenfold. This was his home now, he had not evolved physically other than the loose, rugged, humble appearance he now bore, but mentally. He had been shown that there are things that matter in this world, through whatever odd circumstance- and this new place mattered to him. Thomas would spend the rest of his days caring for kalons like himself which were once lost, form his own misfit family, for this is what mattered to him.
