"I think me and Lance are the only two left," he said quietly. "I'm not positive on that. Maybe a few more... but you're right. Most of the people who came here from the Fleet are gone."
Which was something that bothered, as well, in its own way. Why just the few of them left? Why weren't they sent home, too? Or sent back to the Fleet?
"But, yeah... it was... better," he said. "Less prone to feeling trapped or stuck." Which, honestly, Keith had actually been doing pretty well being on Agra IV all this time. Sure, they'd gone out and explored a few things a few times, so that probably helped. And he'd never traveled off planet until he was 18 anyway. All the training at the Garrison had been in simulators.
But, as far as being stuck on a planet versus in it? Yeah. Like Cayde had pointed out, they'd made an already "small" space "smaller". And it definitely felt more like being trapped than being on the surface.
