As he walked in he saw things that immediately came back to him. He saw the aquarium that once held a gecko, now taken by dust. He saw his phone sitting on the table and many of his figurines still positioned on his book shelf. He grabbed his stormtrooper figure and sat on his bed. As Steven sat there with a tear running down his face, he heard a knock at the door and a voice he hadn't heard for a long
