With "I'm going home", Robin didn't mean his real home in Oasis Landing, but Aurora Skies, to where he went directly after concluding the semester.
Once there, first thing he did was visit Dustin, hoping to meet Juliette there so he could talk to her, but she wasn't home. Which was odd cause that their parents' home, and Dustin had returned from his break, why didn't she?
"Jul moved out", Dustin explained "She said that way she could be able to focus better on her project".
"What project?"
"A new one, it's... a rather complicated one, so it might take some time".
"And where does she live now?"
"Sorry, I'm not allowed to disclose her location".
"Why? Is this a secret project or something?"
"Let's say it is.
"..."
"Seriously, I can't tell you more, all I can add is that she's okay".
"Is she happy?"
"In her own way, she is. Of course she misses you a lot, but..."
"But she won't forgive me".
"She will, I know, just give her time", Dustin added, while he thought about the things he could not tell out of loyalty to his sister.
He didn't tell that she was still living in Aurora Skies, a few blocks from where they were, actually.
Or that she was, in fact, still working in the old team's projects, like the Forbidden Fruit and potion discovery.
He didn't say either that Juliette's pregnancy was almost to full term and that she had everything ready for the baby's arrival. Robin's baby indeed. He felt guilty for not telling him, and felt sorry for him as well, but he couldn't give his sister away.
