Chapter 50 - Touchdown At Soto's Mega Mall

For the rest of the ride, Alto observed the outside world from the window. He let his mind roam free for once, he let it free from the prison of his thoughts. He could see the sky, which was blue, and the clouds green. He could see the expanse of the cities as they passed by them. Most of them looked small, but from above, they looked like pieces of art. Being brought up in the orphanage, Alto had expected his path to end in the home of whoever would adopt him. He would have an easy life and be loved. But when the realization came to him that he was a genote, he became elated. He knew fully well that mech pilots got the luxury of traveling the stars; they were not restricted to their individual star systems. Though their lives would always be on the line when on duty, he believed he would pull through as long as he was not alone.
