I decided to travel home in a slower manner than usual. I had a lot of thoughts and feelings I needed to give my attention to. While I was traveling through space at thousands of miles per hour, I still had hours before I would arrive home.

I felt like crying after seeing Kull see his daughter for the first time in so long. It made me wish I had someone to return to myself. I felt dead to my mother and my other family seemed to have nothing but negative feelings toward me ever since the incident with my mother's eyes.

The only people left in the world who I knew loved was The Body & Julia. Thinking of Julia, my pain from what I had just seen and felt turn to concern as the l saw time I saw Julia, I had given her the crushed Reaper.

I decided it was time to stop flying and get to where I was going. Ripping open the code interface I found myself next to Julia seconds later.

Julia was bathing when I arrived. Seeing her in a bathtub made me burst out laughing. Julia was not surprised to see me there, thanks to how I changed her code, she knew I was coming. She spoke aloud "I know Daniel, you could simply 'alter the code' to make yourself not get dirty or even clean yourself right away but not everyone has lost the simple things in life you know?" I smiled and replied "Sorry, I've had a rough day. It's nice to see something like this." She smiled back and replied, "I'm sorry for being so dis..." I cut her off mid-sentence with a kiss.

As I leaned in, kissing Julia, she grabbed me and pulled me into the tub as I screamed and laughed. With little thought my clothes were off and we were kissing much more heavily.

Hours passed, we found ourselves lying in bed, talking about numerous things that we had changed in the world over the last few weeks.After a while the Reaper came up. Julia had placed it in a thick metal box by itself in the ground outside. After looking at the code in depth, I realized I had evolved to a point since The Body changed me that I could easily remove the Reaper from this world without consequence. I finished him without a second thought.

I spoke aloud "Thank you for watching over that for me." she replied, "You just ... erase things, don't you?" I replied with a sigh, "If I don't remove certain things from this planet, people will get hurt." Julia looked away from my eyes and spoke "I know. But some people care about the people you erase Daniel." I went silent for a moment and then after thought I spoke again "I love you Julia. I'm sorry my actions have hurt you." Julia's eyes began to water again so she buried her face in a pillow.

After a while her emotions calmed, and we fell into sleep despite not needing to anymore.

I woke up the next day to the smell of breakfast. As I rubbed my eyes I could see a massive blur standing before me. My eyes focused and I realized it was The Body. He spoke "So I got fired." I exploded with laughter. I immediately dove into The Body's thoughts and saw that Kull's daughter had returned to Earth. I could see the changes she made were extreme and elegant the moment I looked into the updated code.

I searched for code of prisons, military bases even cancer hospitals and they were all gone. Kull's daughter had done what I was afraid to do. She didn't acknowledge opinions or cultures, and simply rebuilt the world in the way she deemed fit.

The Body had informed me that he had already done half the things she was planning to do before she stepped in and corrected some of his shortcomings and took things a step further to more closely resemble her world pre-God

The Body spoke to me "She has a message for you, I'm sure you already know it." and he was right. But knowing something and focusing on it are two different things, so I was glad he brought it to my attention. The daughter of Kull, the returned god of Earth, wanted me to know that I was forbidden from altering her world further. She also gave me the coordinates of the location of the alien who had sent his own kind out to torture me as a child.
