Loved this part, but it made me so sad too. As I said in my last comment, I've really grown to love your NK characters, and I want to know what happens to them.

That being said, it was a beautiful goodbye. I'm glad Clark realizes how much these people have come to mean to him, and that as overjoyed as he is to be going home, he will miss them. Some of them, at least.

The Perry/Lois scene was perfect. Now I can't wait for the Clark/Lois reunion scene!
