I let go of her and grabbed her hands. I looked into her eyes and made sure to not appear weak, hurt, or broken. She was here and that was all that mattered. She is Ok and everything that was broken can be fixed.

"Maka, it's been over 300 years, 316 to be exact." She gasped and broke eye contact. She looked away and tried to free her hand from mine to cover her face. She was about to cry, but feels to ashamed because it was her who made me wait. I know her; I know what she is thinking. She is my Maka, how can I not know? But that doesn't matter. I cupped her face and forced her to look at me. Gentleness won't get through to her, but the truth will.

"Tsubaki and star got married two years after you disappeared. Patty was diagnosed with a brain tumor and soon died after the wedding. Liz retired as a weapon and went into depression. Kid tried to console her but it was painful to see liz and not be reminded of Patty. Liz recovered with mainly Tsubaki's help. A year later, Tsubaki gave birth to twins. 1 boy and 1 girl. Hiru was just like his mom, and little Hina was a total Daddy's girl. I guess even that idiot managed to live a good life, huh? Kid helped Liz start her own clothing line. Liz became famous and went travelling around the world. After a few years, she began to make clothing for children and settled in that field. Unfortunately, Liz died in a plane crash. She was going into her 70s at that point. Blackstar managed to stay alive until he was 98. You would think he would croak out sooner, right? haha… Tsubaki lived with her kids until she was 117. Kidd, well he never really changed. His obsession with symmetry got better before Patty… but then it became worse again afterwards. You friends, Maka, they didn't have easy lives. They struggled through loss, and they put their life in Kami's hands, but they never forgot about you. They wrote you a Christmas card every year, made a birthday cake for you every year, they made Easter eggs, valentines chocolates, drank shamrock shakes, ate candy corn on Halloween, and turkey on Thanksgiving. You were there for us in spirit, sometimes it was not enough, but other times it was. It was tough for me to continue to live, but… hehe, I made it. The point is Maka, you made a difference in their lives and they are thankful for that. All we can do now is be thankful that you are okay and maybe visit their graves."

She looked at his with watered eyes and defeated shoulders.

"I would like that very much."
