[BEGIN AUDIO ON 7/8/36]

Holy shit, this dinosaur still works!

I have to show my grandparents, tell it all the tea!

Okay, here's what happened:

So, the time reversal worked. Bra, everyone thinks I died in a house fire. Like, who do I look like, Kim? Haha! It was a little funny seeing Marcel cry. Little shit had that coming for a while. He thinks I'm like his protector now because I come down to talk to him sometimes, stupid bitch. I visit Bella often. I see my grandparents up here once in while. It means a lot to me. Charles and James also come up, too.

Look, Grandpa! It's a tape-

I know what it is, Lloydie. I was around for a hundred and one years.

So, you just talk to it? Like a phone?

You finally learned how a phone works. Étoile showed you enough, huh?

Quiet, Su. *THE RECORDER BEING PICKED UP* Hello?

Aw, silly grandma. You don't put it up to your ear. *THE RECORDER BEING PLACED DOWN* You just talk to it, like a person.

Oh, I see. Well, um, lots have been going on.

Yes, that's true. We come down at least twice a week. Beom adores it.

I love his smile. He's still our little boy.

We especially love seeing our great-grandchildren.

Oh yeah, we forgot to mention. Lily and Peter moved to the countryside, where Peter's parents are from. They have a shit-ton of kids on that farm.

Your father was in knots when she got pregnant a week after the wedding. Red as my hair.

That moved you up the ranks. You never got me pregnant.

Oh, boys, don't laugh over dirty things. We're happy she finally had those kids. Four girls and three boys.

Honestly, I don't know how she did it. She's such a little thing, and she carried all those babies around like nothing.

Well, you carried Beom and Ho. Those two are giants.

And that was enough for me. The fact that she did it five more times is pretty impressive.

Étoile had kids, too, with its ex-girlfriend. Only two, though.

Yeah, they didn't really get along. She was a bitch. Cute kids, though. Twin girls.

I personally would've preferred if it waited to get married before having kids, but times change, I suppose.

But it married a man after that. So its having a good time. Besides, it gets custody on weekends.

Speaking of marriage~

The time reversal thing worked a little too well. It got rid of the fact that White married and had kids. He doesn't remember them, pretty sad if you think about it. They were really cute.

Yeah, it's a shame. Val and White got actually married. Oh my God, the wedding was to die for. Well, I die over everything.

Not funny, love.

They're really happy together, it's nice to see. Sarah also got married, but she keeps that private so we can't tell you hehe. Luna is so happy to not be royalty, which Franny and I understand.

Yeah, pain in my ass. She's an accountant, right?

Yeah. Tae is a teenager now, he's doing good. Haruki's daughter, Yuuki, is also a teenager. She's a bit spoiled, but she's a nice kid.

Our Dattie is doing well as queen. She made one of Lily's children her heir. Who was it again? She has so many, it's hard to keep up with their names.

Rosemary, the first baby.

Aw, she's so big, is she? Such a lovely young lady, just like her mother.

Now, on to the topic of Jo...

Ugh.

He's...been doing pretty well! He still has a hard time with his emotions, but he's going to therapy. He feels really guilty about everything he did. He got diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder, no shocker there. He also has depression. It gets really bad when he remembers what he did to us or the time he spent as the monster.

Marie and Beom speak to him again, Marie loves that kid. I speak to him, and so does Da-Eun. We love him, but from a distance.

Yeah, I still have his room ready.

He'd spoken to me before, but I told him I didn't want him to be my friend. I could never be friends with him. He nearly drove me insane. I do pity him, though. I know what loneliness does to your brain.

Da loves him still, I'm glad their friends again. Lily keeps him from a distance. Uncle absolutely adores him. That's his best friend. He feels terrible about what happened to me. When I told him I forgave him, it made him cry. He hugs me a lot and buys me stuff often. I think I'm not angry anymore because I already beat the shit out of him.

I think Ho really helped him with Aurora. I really think he realized that someone who did the same she did isn't a monster. I'm very surprised by how far he came with that. He even calls her a woman now.

If he didn't, I would've hit him until he did. I hate when people get misgendered.

I know, my dear, but he knows now. The others aren't interested in forming bonds with him, so I can't blame them. They've been doing good for themselves. Haruki's bald. Egghead.

Oh, shining star.

Susu had a son a few years back. It was kinda funny when she screamed at the doctor to tie her tubes mid-pushing.

Uncle was beside himself with another grandchildren. He loves them to death.

As for me and Su, we're doing fantastic. It's so good to have company again. Your house is very nice.

Hehe, I know.

The animals are funny. I like Jr the most, very naughty. He always gives me a good laugh.

I like the bunny. She lets me put bows on her all the time.

It's so good to have Ginger back with us. She cuddles my bread. I forgot how much fun it was to play with her hair.

We'll be in the garden, you two. Join us when you're done!

We will!

*SHUFFLING*

Now, baby, it's time to tell them about us.

We've been very happy up here. We go on missions together, sleep in the clouds, hang out with grandma and grandpa, I've never felt so relaxed before. We visit Earth once in a while, mainly for holidays or birthdays. I must say we give the best gifts.

Haha! I love that we're together. I don't have anxiety anymore.

I'm glad. You'll never feel scared again.

And you'll never be hurt. I love you, and I love it up here.

I love you more, my ginger cookie. C'mon, let's go meet them in the garden. I can hear Benjamin eating the lettuce already.

Alright, my darling. Goodbye, tape recorder. It's been nice. 

It has, hasn't it?

Well, guys, that's it. After two years, it's finally over! Are you happy with the ending? Go back and read for foreshadowing. There's a lot lmao

Thank you so much for staying and reading for all this time. It really means a lot, truly.

There's no painting explanation. Live in curiosity lol. There is a timeline, so read that if you want.

There will be another story coming out next year that isn't related to this. If you like Hawaii, gays in distress, and illness, I suggest you read it.

Again, thank you so much for reading! ⭐️💜
