Daiko (Night): With this device you should be able to travel to the other timelines where...everyone else is alive.

Artiko: So I can...see...?

Daika (Night): *nods* That's correct. Everyone. Be good to our friends too.

Artiko: *puts a hand on his chest and nods* You have my word.

Daiko (Night): Say hi to mom for me okay?

Artiko: *nods as he teleports*

[OG]

Artiko: *reappears as he finds himself in front of a house* ...this must be the house. *takes a deep breath and knocks on the door and backs away* ...?

Kohl: *opens the door and looks up at him* Hello sir. How may I help you?

Artiko: You must be...Kohl right?

Kohl: Um...that is correct. Who are you?

Artiko: I am Artiko. The father of Daiko and Daika.

Kohl: ! *his eyes widen as his jaw drops*

Artiko: Hm? *waves a hand over his eyes* Are you alright?

Kumara: Kohl who's at the door? *looks up at Artiko* Who are you?

Artiko: Um...I'm Artiko. The father of...Daiko and Daika.

Kumara: ! *her eyes widen as her jaw drops as well*

Artiko: This just...great. *shakes their shoulders*

Argula: Are you two...okay...? *sees Artiko*

Artiko: *looks back at Argula* Argula...?

Argula: *pushes the two out of the way as she tackles Artiko and flies up to the sky with him as she clung onto him tightly* Artiko!!

Artiko: *holds her close as well as the two stopped at a tall height* I'm here...I'm here Argula. *caresses her face* I also have missed you.

Argula: It's been...too long. *lowers her mask and his as she kissed him intensely and passionately*

Artiko: ?! *his eyes widen but he returns the kiss as they slowly descend to the ground as they break the kiss and look each other in the eyes* It really has been...too long...my love.

Argula: *hugged him tight as she buried her face into his chest* I...never want to let you go ever again.

Artiko: You won't have to. *puts his finger under her chin and made her look up at him* I promise you that.

Argula: *smiles as tears roll down her face until she sees the device* What is...this?

Artiko: ... *sighs as he held her hands* I must confess to you...I am not the Artiko of this timeline... *he lets go as he looked down in shame* I...I am sorry...

Argula: *looked shocked for a bit but shakes her head and grabs his hands again* I don't care! All that matters is that I know that somewhere out there...you still live. That's more than enough for me.

Artiko: *blushes and chuckles as he squeezes her hands* I love you...in every timeline.

Argula: *giggles a bit as she wraps her arms around his neck* That's so sweet. I love you too.

Artiko: *held her in his arms* And it is the truth. *places his forehead against hers* I've been longing for your warmth.

Argula: Well... *leans up and whispers in his ear* ...I'll make you feel warmer~

Artiko: *blushes more* Heh...I'd love that. *looks to see that his children saw him* Um...Argula?

Argula: Yes~? *turns to see her children as she blushes and looks away* O-Oh my goodness!

Daiko: D...D-D...Dad?

Artiko: ... *nods* It is me. Your father.

Sorrel: *walks up to him*

Sorra: *follows up*

Artiko: Sorrel...Sorra. *looks down* Do...what you need to do.

Sorrel: ... *hugs him tight*

Artiko: ?

Sorra: *hugs him tight as well* We miss you...dad.

Artiko: ...! *hugs them back* I've missed you too.

Daika: *runs up and joins the hug* I miss you dad! Waaah! *cries into his shoulder*

Daiko: *joins the hug* We're glad you're here!

Artiko: *hugs them all back* I...I'm glad I'm here too.

Akumo: ... *smiles* Good for them.
