I got better enough to be sent back to the Home but I wasn't gonna stay there long because I was going home. Honestly, I hated staying in the Home but, weird, I didn't really want to go home, especially not without Iori and Nui. Sure, I was gonna be allowed to visit them but that wasn't enough. They've got nothin' in the Home and they've been with me ever since I first came. I half expected that Mom was gonna drag me out of there but she didn't.

The Parents and my social worker were apologizing and such about the way I was acting but I guess Mom and Sugi could understand. When I was taken from Sis, I was alone, alone with nobody but Mako and we've been through thick and thin, so I'd be damned if I had to leave them at the Home. Of course, while they weren't real keen on the idea, Nui and Iori were encouraging me to go with Mom and live my life but I was insistent that they come.

I was pitching something of a fit for about I don't know how the hell long but then I stopped when I heard Mom ask, "Would it be feasible that they come with Ryuuko and I?" The Parents stared at her and said something about Nui but I held onto them both. If I was taking one, then I had to take them both. They tried to talk her out of it but Mom said, "I understand your concern and it is short notice but they looked after her and, surely, it wouldn't hurt. It's a bit of paperwork but what's paperwork to making a difference?"

It was a back and forth but they threw their hands up and Mom spent two hours signing papers and things. It was near the nighttime in the Outside by the time she was done. I don't know what kind of paperwork she signed but Nui and Iori didn't have to stay at the Home, anymore. I didn't think that Mom would really do that and take them home with us but she did.

I didn't have to leave them behind, so all four of us got to go home.
