Neil...

[mr_dynames]

It's alright, Tieria. I already knew I was going to die and I did believe that I'd pay for everything I did with Celestial Being at some point.

[He offers him a grin, but he'll never tell that he's really happy because he took out the scumbag responsible for his family's deaths.]

But I...

[tries, but can't quite get himself to be completely happy about the situation, damn guilt issues]

[mr_dynames]

Don't worry about it, alright?

[His mother sees the sphere.]

Neil, what is that thing and who are you talking to?

Ah, it's a communication device. Everyone on this space shuttle where I've been has one. The person on the other end is a coworker of mine, Tieria.

[hesitates at the sound of another voice, then goes quiet]

[mr_dynames]

Really, it's alright.

Thank you...

[mr_dynames]

You want to meet the rest of my family? [After all, they're all staring at the sphere now and... yes, Amy, that's my face you've got your hand on as you reach out for it... shame I can hardly feel it or I'd pretend to complain.]

[by_my_will]

Yes. I'd like that.

[Happiness is just bittersweet after all.]

[mr_dynames]

Alright, this here's my little sister, Amy. [She waves at the sphere happily as he removes her other hand from his forehead.] This is my mum, right here... [gestures over to her as she smiles warmly] ...and this is my dad. [Mr. Dylandy raises a hand in greeting.]

And behind us is where we call home. [or used to... but that goes unsaid]

[by_my_will]

It looks... nice.

[mr_dynames]

Thanks. [...and something seems a bit off since he's not getting yelled at for revealing level seven classified information]

Hey, you alright?

[by_my_will]

Don't worry about it.

[mr_dynames]

Are you sure? [hypocritical nagging is go :|b]

[by_my_will]

[sigh]

I'll be fine.

[mr_dynames]

If you're sure.... [something about his tone suggests he thinks otherwise]
