I can’t go home—any of my homes.

I can’t go to Juniors Ranch and ruin Cory’s meet-the-girlfriend dinner with the way I’m feeling now. I can’t go to my mom’s house and get into another discussion about why I can’t just try harder to get along with the Card family, and I can’t go to Guardian Tower, not even to change my clothes.

I don’t know if the Guardians would blame me more for letting this happen in the first place or for not helping Sergei and Jacob clean up, and I don’t even know if I can ask them without jeopardizing Ella’s option B.

But I can’t go flying around in my Solar Flare outfit, either. Screw the headlines, I can’t.

If I did what Solar Flare is supposed to do tonight, if this is what it meant when I pledged myself to protect the people of this city, then I can’t be Solar Flare, because I can’t ever do that again.

And if I didn’t do what Solar Flare is supposed to do, then I don’t deserve to be Solar Flare anyway.

Eventually, I end up flying down to the beach and wrapping myself in an abandoned towel so I don’t have to see the circles of red and gold on my chest while I’m puking the rest of my bar snack dinner into the sea.

I don’t know if Sergei was right or wrong about the rest of it, but he was wrong about one thing: I will not feel better in the morning.

This is never, ever going to feel better.
