[Action]

[After walking around lost for most of the day, Kratos finally finds his home early in the evening. His hearing is back and he can see dark shapes and bits of colors, but definitely not enough to get him home. It was only through the power of parental determination that he managed to be here now

[what is this. An escapee? Oh well, she'd be sick of the clinic too after this long]

Hey, Kratos!

[and after three steps toward him, she faceplants]

[salvationfound]

[He knows that voice, although the THUD that follows isn't much like Sheena. He crosses his arms and looks down at the shape on the ground that he figures is her.]

Sheena. [Why are you stopping him he must see his boy]

[corrinesbell]

[gets up and dusts herself off with a sigh]

Glad you're feeling better.

[salvationfound]

As am I.

[corrinesbell]

But you are going home to take it easy, right?

[salvationfound]

I am returning to make sure that I can be the father that Lloyd deserves.

[corrinesbell]

...Oh. Uh. [no clue at all what to say to that]

[salvationfound]

I have been doing a rather poor job lately. I intend to correct this.

[corrinesbell]

But you've been getting better and stuff. Lloyd understands.

[a rock on the path and over she goes again]

[salvationfound]

[He'll stop the conversation right now to just stare at her. Well, at the shape of her. And he'll wonder why the heck she's as clumsy as Colette.]

[corrinesbell]

[she's kinda dirty and grass-stained actually. At least she hasn't tried rooftop travel]

Don't look at me like that. I dunno what's going on either.

[salvationfound]

[He can't see those stains, just her outline. Thanks to that, she'll be getting a face palm.]

Everyone has been suffering from strange behavior lately. An experiment? [Of course, he doesn't think he's affected.]

[corrinesbell]

Probably. ...I dunno what they're getting out of turning me into Colette for a week. Or you into...whoever you are.

[salvationfound]

You believe I'm acting odd?

[corrinesbell]

You're talking about how much you wanna be Lloyd's father. ...That's weird.

[salvationfound]

If you consider it so, then I must've acted terribly in the past.

I've had a revelation. An epiphany. This role is where I truly belong.
