In the weeks that followed the intense confrontation and apparent demise of the anomaly, the repercussions unfolded across the futuristic landscape. Despite the temporary relief from the threat, the future people found themselves facing a new peril. Drones, relentless and unwavering, hunted them down, forcing many to make the difficult choice between leaving their current refuge or facing the dire consequences on the backwater planet.


The once relatively stable situation turned into a chaotic exodus as the future people scattered, seeking safety back to their homeland.



As Ace walked through the city, his attention was suddenly drawn to a figure standing in front of him. To his surprise and disbelief, the person before him was none other than his mother, Mitsume. The unexpected encounter sparked a mix of emotions in Ace, ranging from astonishment to joy. Mitsume, in turn, looked at him with a warm yet slightly hesitant smile, as if uncertain of how he would react to her sudden appearance.

"Mom..." Ace uttered, his voice filled with a mixture of surprise and genuine warmth. Without hesitation, he rushed toward Mitsume and enveloped her in a tight hug, a tangible expression of the emotions that had surged within him. Mitsume, in turn, reciprocated the embrace, a silent acknowledgment of the unspoken bond that had endured despite the challenges and uncertainties they had faced. The reunion marked a moment of connection and relief in the midst of the unpredictable circumstances that had shaped their lives.

In the quiet moment of their embrace, Mitsume took a step back, holding Ace at arm's length. Her gaze, filled with both regret and sincerity, met his. "Ace," she began, her voice carrying the weight of the confession she needed to make. "I... I need to apologize. I know I abandoned you as a child, and I can't express how sorry I am for leaving you alone."

Ace looked into his mother's eyes, absorbing the depth of her remorse. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke with a surprising maturity beyond his years. "Mom, you had no choice but to do it," he said, his voice carrying a compassionate understanding. "I may not understand everything, but I know you did what you had to do. We can't change the past, but I've grown up, and I forgive you."

Mitsume's eyes glistened with gratitude and relief as she heard Ace's forgiving words.

. The sunlight painted a golden hue over the scene, casting long shadows that danced around them as they stood on the porch.

Ace, his eyes reflecting the brightness of the day, held his mom close, a subtle tear glistening in the corner of his eye. The gentle breeze played with strands of their hair, creating a tender symphony of rustling leaves and whispered words.

His mother, feeling the weight of emotions in the air, wrapped her arms around him, offering a comforting haven. The sunlight highlighted the contours of their embrace, capturing the essence of a shared connection that transcended spoken language.

A tear fell down Ace eyes,he though that he would never see her again but here she was in his arms,he completely ignored the look people gave him and just held his mother in his arms as she held him close to her.

"Let's make up for lost time," Mitsume said, her voice filled with a mixture of joy and determination. She held her son in her arms, embracing him tightly as if trying to bridge the gap of all the moments they might have missed.

The air seemed to carry a sense of renewal as mother and son shared a promise for the future. Mitsume's words held the weight of a commitment to cherish each moment, to create new memories, and to build a connection that transcended any lost time.

Ace, feeling the warmth and sincerity in his mother's embrace, reciprocated the sentiment with a nod. The tears that once lingered in his eyes now gave way to a hopeful smile. The shared resolve between them painted the beginning of a chapter where the passage of time would no longer be a barrier to their bond.
