As he crosses borders, he is also challenged with leaving his parents back home as he is given the opportunity to get his education on another planet. He is encountered with the emotions of adjusting to his new normal and still missing his parents back home. Now, the question is, will Mer Cury stay on planet Earth or will he return home to outer space?
