It's alright, Tieria. I already knew I was going to die and I did believe that I'd pay for everything I did with Celestial Being at some point.

[He offers him a grin, but he'll never tell that he's really happy because he took out the scumbag responsible for his family's deaths.]

But I...

[tries, but can't quite get himself to be completely happy about the situation, damn guilt issues]

Don't worry about it, alright?

[His mother sees the sphere.]

Neil, what is that thing and who are you talking to?

Ah, it's a communication device. Everyone on this space shuttle where I've been has one. The person on the other end is a coworker of mine, Tieria.

[Aw, but if you turn it off, you might miss this:]

Ooh! Neil, what's that? [points at his sphere and leans in for a closer look] Is that Lyle in there?! Hey, Lyle! [she's waving at the sphere now, are you going to ignore that?]

[Damn it, he can't, because it's his little sister, even if it is just a vision, even if it isn't real. So he swallows down whatever anger and sadness he was feeling and hitches on a smile]

... Amy. Hi.

[And now the others are crowding around as Amy continues waving, wearing a big grin on her face. Dad's waving now too, as is mum.]

Lyle, you've grown into such a fine young man. We're so proud of you.

[He barely notices his little sister's struggle to get free until he looks away from the sphere for a moment while their parents chat with Lyle for a bit, so he sets her down only for her to grab his hand and drag him toward the house. Their parents follow, a bit amazed that the sphere does as well.]
