"Hey man, hows afterlife for yea? I know you can't answer, but I still wonder."

"Anyways, we're continuing our search for the dimensional keys. But we have yet to find any clues on the other three. Speaking of three, the Dewinter widow and his sons are hunting us down now. And just like with Tod, I'm once again blamed for a loss that wasn't my fault. Although, I did wear the skin of the mother, so I understand why they would be upset with me. But if anyone is to blame, it's Clarence! Who the hell knows where he got that body."

"The Dewinter's told me my mother, Sheryl Goodspeed, was going to be executed in prison, so I decided to pay a visit to her before that happens. Not to rescue her though, but to tell her off for abandoning me after my dad died. Yea, when I was a child, she just left me with no family to look out for me. When we got to the prison, I was prepared to tell her off in a single sentence that would leave her pale, but when she recognized me and even got my name right, a part of me hoped that she changed for the better. So when my mom broke herself out, I welcomed her on our ship. She told all of these cool stories about her adventures, as well as giving fashion advice to Tribore and Ash. However, Clarence tried every nasty angle to hit on my mom and made it no secret that he wanted to get in her pants."

"After a while, my mom suggested that we steal back a stolen family heirloom. So basically, a reverse robbery like in those heist movies. The two of us broke into a highly secured storage planet, where we almost got our butt cheeks smashed by enclosing walls. Surprisingly, Clarence saved us the last minute by deactivating the trap from inside. He used this nasty eye to teleport anywhere he wants, which he broke moments later. We got to the heirloom and took it, but there was a Zargon slug guarding it. It chased us throughout the vault, and it ended up blocking the exit like a wine cork. But my mom blasted a hole on the side of the slug, and we exited through the worm's slimy innards to its mouth."

"I was so happy to spend time with my mom; she seemed to have changed, from her abilities, and her smile. I generally believed we could have a real raw relationship between mother and son. However, after we narrowly escaped, Sheryl tried to leave behind my back with the family heirloom. I caught her in the act, and I finally asked her why she abandoned me. That women just said that when dad died, her heart shattered to the point that she can't love anyone else."

"Also, it turns out that the family heirloom she took was a dimensional key. For now, I decided to leave my mom alone. Because if she's looking for them too, she will save us a lot of time getting to Quinn. However, when the time comes, I will take what I need from her, no matter what."

"You know, before my imprisonment on the Galaxy One. I never had anyone that would watch my back. When my mom abandoned me, I was left alone to defend myself. Ended up as a petty thief to make a living. Back on Earth, I was used to abandonment when things get tough. But out of all of the people I know, you were the only one that came back for me. I only wish you knew how much that meant to me before you..."

"Sigh"

"Even though I hate that women, a part of me understood her self-serving mindset. When you died, I was afraid to open up to someone else again, especially when they resemble their dad so much. But when I saw how alone Little Cato was, I saw so much of myself in the little guy when I lost my family. I realized that he needed me just as much as I needed him. I only wish my mom realized the same thing when my dad died. Anyways, one thing for sure. I am never going to be like that woman! I'm going to give Little Cato every piece of my broken heart. I promise."

"Welp gotta go clean after Mooncake now. Little guy ate too many pancakes and threw up all over the community room. Later buddy."
