Aloha kissed Army's forehead as he awoke. "Sleep well, Arm?" He asked.
"W-what... w-what happened?" Army asked, still half-asleep it seemed.
"Mask was right." Aloha said. "That was a dream, I think. When you died, I... I think we all woke up."
After a minute of the information sinking into Army's brain, his eyes widened. "...A-Aloha? You're a-alive?"
Aloha nodded. "Yep... we all are..."
Army smiled, and hugged Aloha tightly, burying his face into Aloha's unharmed chest. "W-we're alive! W-we're safe..."
The inkling chuckled, kissing his octo's head. "You're safe...I'm not gonna let anything happen to you..."
The two stayed like that for a while, Army gently sobbing of happiness while Aloha kissed him and hugged him tightly.
There was a knock on the door, and it opened. "Army, Aloha?" Skull's voice asked. And then, Skull himself appeared. "Are we doing okay?"
Aloha nodded. "We're doing alright, Mom. Just woke up... you guys alright?"
Skull also nodded. "We're alright. Mask... he locked himself in his room. Hope he's alright..."
"She's Mask. They'll be alright." Aloha said. "...Can we talk about this later? I got an Army I need to cuddle."
Skull chuckled. "Alright. Avi and I are going to make some food. I'll come get you when it's ready." He left, quietly closing the door behind him.
Aloha kissed Army's tentacle. "God, I love you, Army..."
"I l-love you too, Aloha..."
