"H-Hey!"
"What? It was messy anyway."
Lucas pouted. "What if we had found you sooner?"
"Then I wouldn't have this," said Claus. He pointed to his bionic eye and winked.

Claus stuck his tongue out again. "But you wouldn't have learned to stand up for yourself if I hadn't gone missing."
Lucas shrugged.
"What if.. What if I had died in our last battle?" Claus said, looking skyward. Lucas looked at him with fear.
"D-Don't say that!" he snapped, suddenly teary-eyed.
"I'm sorry.." Claus said, remorseful. He gave his brother a tight hug.
"I'm fine.." Lucas said. He hugged Claus tighter.
"No matter what happens, we'll always be there for each other, right?"
"Right."
