I finished it earlier today. I have not played the sequel or midquel, so I don’t know how accurate this will be, but I was inspired to write something. For those who haven’t played any of the VN’s, THIS WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS! Please enjoy.















I can’t believe I’m back here…Not just in Italy, but in the same room I was staying when I was abducted…9 years ago… I made sure that I stayed here on the day I was to be brought back onto Amicus’ ship. It feels so surreal. To think that it’s already been 8 years… I gaze up at the ceiling. That’s where Amicus had initially taken me. I look back at the clock. Ten minutes… If he remembered, then he should be within Earth’s atmosphere as we speak. Every time I look at the clock, it feels as if time’s slowing down…as if it’s trying to prevent me from seeing Amicus for even longer…

To think that I was worried that 8 years would feel like a century…but as the Parents said, it went by in, practically, a microsecond. With these anti-aging pills that Amicus had given me, I look as if I hadn’t aged a day…and although we had been far apart, we managed to see each other through the Monitors…My sleep, and his device… I had been able to talk to him…to hold him…and always told him how much I miss him…and how much I still love him… Our goodbyes were always hard, but we knew with each passing day, I’d become that much closer to seeing him again. I had always gazed down at the ring he had given me afterward, and I sense his presence each time I did again…It always made me feel at ease, though at the same time, I always end up sobbing afterward…knowing I couldn’t feel him physically…Not for a long, long while, but now…that day’s finally here…

Today was my last day on Earth… My head’s spinning. I had done it. I had actually done it. I managed to incorporate human life into the Glaxias…though it wasn’t easy. My initial fear when it came to talking with the officials, funnily enough, was being unable to speak their various languages…but with the Lingula, I started to speak…and it seemed it was translating my words for me…which definitely made things all the easier. They noticed that my lips weren’t matching my words… My second fear was being called a conspiracist, possibly thrown in jail, but I informed them about the Lingula. It kinda hurt, but I let them take a look at the technology…and soon…all went well from there…With the help of the Monitors, things only got simpler. I was able to help assemble and show them the technology of the Glaxias… They were stunned; speechless even, though as they were able to communicate with the Parents, things started going rather smoothly...for a time.

Sometime within the second year of my mission, I somehow managed to give several officials avia pox. They had perished within...a couple months I believe? I had been captured and put into quarantine...which had been an unfortunate bump in the road. Every day I was there was cold, bare...and especially lonely. I wondered if I would ever manage to escape or be freed...and those thoughts had only made me more upset. Would I ever see him again...? My prayers had finally been answered after several months. Tests were put on me to investigate the avia pox further... I knew I had to endure this, whether I liked it or not, mostly because if there wasn't some kind of vaccine in place in case it ever happened again, there would be no way I'd ever see Amicus... Thankfully with our current advances, we were able to get the vaccine procured within a few short months after that. I, of course, had a close eye on me for then on in, but that was a small price to pay. I never even thought about the avia pox shortly after I had returned, so that was a bit worrisome... Though despite that, I honestly hadn’t expected it to go as well as it did. Now we’re reunited with the Glaxias…after what I believe was many millennia…

Though the people around the world are aware of the Parents and the Monitors, this goes against many…many of their initial beliefs. At least here there can be some sort of communication and proof they exist…at least, with the higher-ups. Like on Adastra, only Officials can make contact with the Parents. Many people are still ignorant to the thought, but many have also accepted them, even formed a religion focused on them. Many Priests, Baptists, Popes, and the like have minimal contact, since the Parents had since become well aware of how quickly they try to use it for their own selfish gain.

At least it’s to a point now that the Glaxias has another (somewhat) stable planet and species to join them. The plans for the people to become united with the other beings ever so slowly starting to form into motion. It’s refreshing…exciting even.

I hadn’t bothered to try to make contact with my family and friends. I was gone for almost a whole year…and I know it’d be tough to say goodbye to them, let alone spend time with them. I had become much too busy with these plans the Parents had put together. In a way, I’m thankful. I didn’t have to worry about seeing family during the holidays or whatnot, though at the same time, it did seem pretty lonely…especially without Amicus…

I look at the clock again. Three minutes. My heart races. Will Amicus actually remember? He had been late to important meetings before, but that was years ago, and that didn’t involve me…He’s usually quite prompt when it comes to me…

Two minutes…

Please…Please don’t be late…

One…

I close my eyes, my mind picturing him again…a white glow surrounds him, his smile big and delighted. My fingers twitch, wanting to hold him…

Not long now…

Amicus…

I feel my eyes starting to get teary eyes. I count the seconds. Thirty seconds…

I open my eyes. Twenty.

It’s then that I notice something in the sky…almost like a shooting star…

Ten seconds…

Amicus…

The room glows brightly, that bluish hue that I had seen when he first took me completely covering it. It feels as if I might go blind if I stare at it directly. I squint my eyes, trying to see a bit better. I notice something materializing.

Amicus…?

“Hey, Marcus…Miss me?”

His smile is the same as it always been…so bright and cheerful…with those blue eyes gazing down at me. His voice seems deeper, but only very, very slightly. His large, bulky form seems a bit bulkier than when we had seen each other last, but not by much.

His arms open for me, and I can’t help myself.

I lunge for him, holding him as tight as I can possibly muster. I hear him let out a soft “oomph”, like I had tried to tackle him American Football style. My arms envelop his midsection tightly, my face buried into his fluffy chest. He’s as warm as I remember…so soft…and cozy…

I feel tears running down my cheeks endlessly. I can’t stop them, my sobbing heaving as I shake against him, gripping my fingers into his back fur tighter. I’m hoping…praying that this is real…that this isn’t just some kind of sick mirage or illusion…

“Is it you…?” I ask between sobs. “Are you actually here…?” *sniff* “Right now…?”

I manage to pull my face away, wanting to look into his eyes, and realize that my nose was running too…with some more than likely having mingled into his fur. I hope he can accept my apology later about that…

“Yes, Marcus…It’s me. I’m here.”

I can feel his paw rubbing along the top and back of my head, my chest still heaving as I still can’t stop sobbing…with his other arm wrapped around my waist and holding me just as close to him.

“Let’s get you on board.”
