After a few years, Mina fulfilled her promise to Shoto to be the best mother she can be to her children, Nozomi and Haru went to UA as their parents many years ago, while the twins studied to be dancers
Mina couldn't be prouder of them, she watched them grow up, graduate, get married and even become parents, she knew that if Shoto was with them he would be proud too
Years passed until one day she became seriously ill, however, she refused to go under treatment
- But mom... - Haru didn't want to lose her, none of her children or grandchildren wanted to, they kept insisting until she spoke -
- I don't want to spend the few time I have stuck to machines and treatments
- But Mom... We don't want to lose you - Yuzu looked at her with tears in her eyes -
- I know honey, but I won't leave, just like your father I still will take care of all you - Mina smiled and each one took her hand and then hugged her, they respected her decision, just as she always respected and supported theirs
A few more weeks passed and Mina was already in her last moments, she wanted to say goodbye at home just like Rei and Fuyumi had done years ago, Mina was lying down with the whole family around, her youngest grandchildren looked at her sad, although their parents told them that she would go to a better place, they all notice how she was trying to stay awake, its time to say goodbye
- You can rest now mom - Nozomi held her hand holding back tears, she didn't want the last thing her mother saw was her daughter crying -
Mina smiled looking at them all and closed her eyes for the last time, being able to rest at last, she had no regrets about anything and knew that she didn't wasted her life
When she opened her eyes again, she can see miles and miles of a beautiful valley, she was lying on the grass surrounded by bushes and flowers, she got up and walk seeing that the valley was too extensive and seemed to have no end
- Wow - She was quite surprised seeing the beautiful place, however, she is not alone, she saw more people walking around it, and recognized many of them - ¿Tooru? ¿Denki? ¿Ochako?... ¡¿Mom?! - Everyone looked at her and smiled as she approached to them - ¿Is it paradise?
- ¡Of course! We all arrived a long time ago
She gave each one a big hug seeing how the valley seemed to have no end, if they are here, Shoto must also be close
- Wait... ¿Is he...?
- ¡Of course he is! - Hagakure knew who she wants to see and took her hand leading to a lake, there are more people there, but she noticed the only one she was looking for
- ¡Shoto!
Mina let go of her friend's hand and go to her beloved jumping on him, making them both to fall to the ground
- Mina - He finally have her in his arms again, he hugged her very tightly kissing her on the head - You're here... You're finally here
They both stayed hugging each other on the floor as if it seemed like an eternity, but all the waiting and time apart had come to the end
After get up, Shoto took her to rest on a log while they both watched a beautiful sunset
- This is beautiful...
- It is, now with you here it really is perfect - He kiss his wife's forehead intertwining his fingers with hers -
- ¿Who else is here?
- Well, mom and Fuyumi live higher up the lake, your parents live down the hill
- ¿Are there houses here?
- Well, we have to be made of wood
In paradise everything was different, when they cut down a tree the next day it grew back completely, the water never ran out, the fruits and vegetables grew again at the moment, it was not necessary to eat or drink anymore, but for many the custom did not go away
- ¿And them?... Our children...
- They'll come, in about 20 or 30 years maybe, but you'll learn that time flies here
- That's good, because there's a lot I have to tell you, our grandchildren are amazing, if you saw them you couldn't be prouder of how they grew up
- You can tell me, we have all the time we want for ourselves now
"If there's anyone by my side in paradise, I just want it to be you"
"When this life ends, we will meet again in a place where time does not exist and love is eternal"
