Chrono: Where... am I?

He stood up and observed his surrounding...

Chrono: What just happened really? Why am I here?

???: "I can't believe that I'm able to see you here..."

Chrono: "Huh? Eh?! You're..."

Tokimi: "I never thought that I'll see you here... my son."

Chrono: "M-Mother..."

Tokimi: "You're a grown up now, Chrono."

Chrono: (Hugged her) "Y-You know... how much I want to meet you..."

Tokimi: (Stroking his back) "There there... even though you're an adult now, you're still my little boy in my eyes. I guess every mother see their child that way..."

Chrono: (Released the hug) "But... if you're here... then I'm here... that means..."

Tokimi: "Hm..."

Chrono: "I have..."

Tokimi: "So, you have some stories that you want to tell your mom?"

Chrono: "Hm? Oh I do! A lot exactly but let's just start with the simple one first."

Tokimi: "I'm all ears..." (Smiling)

Chrono: "I took the same path like my father. I encountered Vanguard and that changed my life. I met a lot of friends and I feel like I have this fire in me that pushes me to keep on getting better and knowing what my true goal is."

Tokimi: "Like father like son... you really have his personality. Loving Vanguard and met a lot of friends. But, you have my hair..." (Giggles)

Chrono: "Ahehehe... I've got to be honest, sometimes I hate my hair so much because I look so uncool with it. But it changed when..."

Tokimi: "Hm?"

Chrono: "I met her... and I'm sure you know her as well."

Tokimi: "That girl huh... I remember when I met Misae and that baby girl. Back then, I have you in my belly... her mother and I talked about some things..."

Chrono: "She told me everything and even to this day, I'm still surprised that you met her mother."

Tokimi: "Including when she joked about you and Tokoha being a couple?"

Chrono: "Yeah..."

Tokimi: "And in the end, you did end up with her. You both got married, have two kids, and of course you become a great father."

Chrono: "Yes... even now, I feel like she's too good for me. I was a rascal kid back then, while she's one of, if not the best student in class. Not only that, her personality... is warm."

Tokimi: "I agree, even when she was still a baby. I can sense that she will be a nice and beautiful girl in the future."

Chrono: "Yeah..."

Tokimi: "I'm not able to see you grow or raise you, and I'm sorry for that Chrono..."

Chrono: "No, don't be. Afterall, it all already happened and we couldn't turn back time."

Tokimi: "Chrono..."

Chrono: "Then I thought my father was dead as well... but it turns out that he is still alive. At first, I was so upset at him for leaving Mikuru and myself alone. But, as time goes it's useless to be upset... we couldn't turn back time. It all happened and we need to move on from it."

Tokimi: He has really grown...

Chrono: "I don't want to make the same mistakes... I want to be the best father to my children. I don't want them to grow up like I did. I want to see them growing while myself getting older. Not only that, I made a promise with Tokoha that I will stay with her until we're old, chubby, in a wheelchair..."
