"Mom, Dad, I am home", Aaron announced as he opened the house's door.
Thomas and Maya were in the hall of their house, eagerly waiting for their son's return. Some weeks ago, the Alliance had informed them that Aaron had fallen into a portal weeks prior.
They had waited to see if he would return, and they were also searching for a way to find out what had happened, but so far, there were no results. So, the alliance declared him MIA.
The chances of his returning were very low, and he could be considered dead, or at least what the alliance officer said to them. The news saddened them.
Aaron was, after all, their only child.
They didn't plan for a single child. They wanted to give Aaron a sibling when he was a kid. So that they could grow up together and have each other's backs when they needed it, but it failed.
For whatever reason, they couldn't have any more for years, and Aaron grew up. So, they stopped trying altogether.
