Not too long after my father was made aware of our whereabouts, we were sent to live with him. As to be expected, I was afraid that he'd send us back, however, the opposite happened. Instead of rejection, we were greeted with an embrace, the sort of loving embrace we had long missed. From what I had known, he wanted very much to meet us and we in turn.

He took very good care of us and often told us stories. He also promised that he'll protect us from Mam's family's influences and that things will be better. Some time after we had moved in, he had moved us out of Sorrows Pass and into a medium sized house. Some time afterward, he opted to try and track down Mam's whereabouts. It turns out she had survived the fire and was recovering in a mental hospital. Daddy opted to bring her home with him when she was mentally stable enough, something that she didn't refuse, actually, she was rather happy to reunited with her children and the love she was forced to abandon.

Slowly, as time passed, our wounds began to heal and we started to move forward. He was gone, burning in hell, and never again will he hurt us. Rei was gone, a caged bird set free, yet, somewhere I could feel her watching over us forever. I would never forget all that has happened, yet I am able to leave it behind, let it be blown away with the ashes of the house.
