"Sophie, have you seen Dad?" Sephira asked after stepping in to meet her sister upon seeing her in the room. "He saw me, gave me a huge hug, then left just as suddenly."
"Me too," Sophie responded quietly.
"He looked like he'd been through hell. I've never seen him look like that before."
Sophie nodded again,
"Do you know where he went?"
"He told me he was going to go talk to MOMO about something."
"I'd better follow him and make sure he's okay." Sephira turned towards the door, only to find Sophie's hand grab hers and hold her back.
"No, Sephira," Sophie shook her head. "This is between the two of them and something that Daddy's been worried about for a long time. Let's leave them be and hope for the best."
"If you say so, Sophie..." sensing the worry in her sister's voice, Sephira squeezed her hand and stayed with her instead.

"Mr. Dyne, you look terrible," MOMO observed as she met up with Dyne at the requested meeting spot: The clearing where they had originally met.
"MOMO-chan..." he sounded tired as he looked at her, then fell to his hands and knees with his head bowed deeply. "I'm sorry, MOMO-chan... I failed you..."
"What do you mean?" she gasped at his sudden apology, but composed herself. "Please, don't prostrate yourself like that."
As he slowly raised his head to look up at her, MOMO noticed how empty his eyes looked.
"Forgive me, MOMO-chan..." he apologized again, "I can't keep my promise..." he grasped one of her hands in both of his and repeated his apology over and over.
"Mr. Dyne..." she knew exactly what he was talking about, but didn't want to admit it. "What happened...?"
"This world isn't ready for time travel technology..." he lowered his head again, "The things I've seen and witnessed... the countless changes made by even the slightest adjustment... The immeasurable time it took to correct everything... I wouldn't wish that on anyone..."
"But KOS-MOS and I could help you," MOMO's voice fell quiet, realizing she was trying to both deny and bargain, "With our technological knowledge, we could-"
"No!" he cut her off and she gasped again. He had never raised his voice at her. "I'm sorry, MOMO-chan... It's simply far too dangerous..."
MOMO turned her back to him but didn't pull her hand away. She was afraid that this day would come and thought she had prepared herself for the possibility, but the reality of it was simply merciless. Realizing she would never be able to return to her time and never see her mother, her friends and companions, or any of her sister 100-series again, her shoulders began to tremble as she raised her free hand to quickly wipe away the forming tears. She wanted to be strong and not cry, but she was far from a soulless machine.

"I understand..." her voice broke after several moments of silence. "You did all you could, Mr. Dyne, and it would be selfish of me to press the issue..."
"I'll understand if you can never forgive me..." he continued looking down at the ground. "I don't even know where to begin to try making it up to you."
"Mr. Dyne, please don't hate yourself or beat yourself up over this. I would never hate you after everything you've done. You took me and KOS-MOS in, gave us reasons to continue going in this strange time and world to us, you protected us from people who would use our knowledge for selfish purposes, and you introduced me to my best friend of this time. You've become like a father to me."
"Father..." Dyne repeated the word and looked up at her again. "That's it! MOMO-chan, since I promised to take care of you regardless of the outcome of trying to send you home, that's the one I can and will keep."
"Wait, are you asking me-?" she hit upon the same idea.
"MOMO-chan, if you want me to, I'll adopt you too and you will become a part of the family. I'd be lying if I said I don't already consider you a daughter."
Just the mere thought brought a smile back to MOMO's face and she placed her free hand over her heart as she turned to face him again.
"I'll do it on one condition," her smile turned into a playful smirk.
"Anything within my power, no matter how long it may take. We both know we can expect to spend at least hundreds of years together with Sophie."
"It won't take nearly as long as you may think... Daddy," her teasing grin turned into a pure smile as her face also turned pink.
"MOMO..." looking at her smile and hearing her call him that caused the light to return to his eyes and him to mirror her expression for a moment before pulling her into a tight hug, which she returned.
"Sophie and Sephira will be surprised when we return, I'm sure," she giggled. "Anyone can say they weren't expecting to have another sister when they woke up this morning."
"I think Sophie was secretly wishing for something like this for quite a while now," he released the hug to look her in the eyes, "You two have been as close as sisters for a long time already. Though I will have to ask you both to help me watch over Sephira, too."
"Of course, Daddy. Let's go tell them. I know there's some paperwork involved, but no one can deny that we've already become a family."
Still holding her hand, he got back on his feet and proceeded to escort her back home so she could re-introduce herself as their new sister.
"Oh, one more thing." she spoke up as they got closer.
"What is it?" he turned to look at her.
"This is something I've always wanted to say," she closed her eyes and smiled even more brightly than before, "I'm home, Daddy."
"Welcome home, MOMO," Dyne squeezed her hand as they approached the door together.
