[The T.V. was usually on, in case someone wanted to watch it; the Other Father himself kept himself busy looking after anyone who needed him, or making music, or tending to the garden... It was a coincidence that he happened to see the new bulletin.
He was a man used to bad turns in life, but it didn't mean he ever liked them when they reared their ugly heads, especially when children were involved.
The children... John, Rose, Popura. They could be hurt, and there was nothing he could do but stand there, looking at the T.V. with his jaw dropped.
His mind went blank for a moment, as it always did when bad things happened. These had nothing to do with the Other Mother, his wife wasn't here to stop him from getting involved... But something in him was scared, worried for the children, worried for what he might find if he contacted them. He associated bad happenings with the death of children.
No, he had helped Coraline, he had gone against what he classed as the worst force possible. He could do this and he needed to have more faith in himself. The children would be fine. The children would be fine.
He began to contact anyone he knew who was on that train.

Real glad to hear it. [So. Worried. And once again, it was out of his hands to be able to help his kids with. But he knows that all three of you are strong enough to take care of yourselves. Stronger than he is.]
[He nods in response to the report.] Your Pokémon okay? Report said they were being stolen.
Heh...well I try to be! There may not be a lot that I can do, but that's one thing. And honestly it's probably one of the most important things. At least I think so...
[You're really kind of reminding him of his Dad, Other Father. What with the whole proud thing.]
[He nods.] Think so? I know so. Bu~t, I think you're wrong with one thing, John...
[He pauses, for a little bit of playful tension. The tone in his voice itself and the smirk on his lips are already proof that he's not being serious.]

Oh! Hi, Father! [He seems cheerful as usual, despite of the fact that he was just on a bomb-laden train a few hours ago.]
