In the Floralian island of Royal Road, Taranza sits right outside the castle's entrance to relax and experience the morning sky.

This is something he often does in mornings, at the times that he manages to wake up early enough.

He's always enjoyed the outside when it's early. Something about that morning breeze feeling good to him before the sky is at its brightest for the day.

The corner of his right upper eye can see what appears to be a little sparkle from afar, making him curious. Moments later, the sparkle turns out to be Kirby on a warp star, as Taranza is eventually able to realize as it comes closer.

As he sees Kirby coming straight towards him, he gives a wave. Kirby gives him a wave back.

"Kirby!" Taranza greets when the pink puffball comes close enough to hear it. "What a surprise to see you come by this early! How do you do this morning, pal?"

"I have big news, Taranza!" said Kirby, as he hops off the warp star. "Very big news!"

All the spider's eyes widened at those words.

"Ooooh, very big news?!" he asked. "I didn't anticipate on there being something big today! That sounds exciting. Tell me straight away, Kirby! I'm curious."

And so Kirby shares something. He shares what apparently woke him up this morning.

He discloses that Morpho Knight knocked on his door and allowed him to make two wishes. This revelation took the spider aback, to say the least.

Taranza had vaguely heard about Morpho Knight before in the past. He heard that the guy was something of a grim reaper, which hugely intrigued him to the point of wanting to see him for a particular reason. However, this never really came to fruition as Taranza couldn't find Morpho Knight for the life of him, and it really bummed him to eventually have to give up trying.

To think that this guy just suddenly came to Kirby's house is crazy! Kirby said that he himself was very shocked by it.

And then Kirby finally discloses what he made his two wishes be. The things that he wished for... Taranza immediately jumped in sheer excitement about it.

"You... you wished to bring Sectonia back?!" the spider asked, voice loud and heavy. "And the REAL Sectonia at that?!"

Kirby happily nods and says "Yes!", basically confirming it to be true. He also mentioned where the revivals will take place at.

Oh... oh stars.

Oh stars.

Taranza feels a nigh impossible amount of joy inside him. This is... this is so astonishing. So unbelievably wonderful.

He's... he's finally going to see Sectonia again! He'll see her smile once again! And the ACTUAL her, no less!

He'll finally be able to make it up for his mistakes!

Part of him could hardly even believe it at first. The fact that Kirby could've had his wishes be things for himself, but no. Instead, he chose to make a wish that he knew would make Taranza happy.

And happy it absolutely made him. For a long time, he's been hoping and wanting to believe that there could've been some way to bring Sectonia back. That included trying to find Morpho Knight to see if he had the capability to bring her back. But it looks like Kirby just now had that taken care of for him!

Even at these times, Taranza has still been upset at himself over Sectonia sometimes. It would be a lie to say he's fully gotten over his grief even now, although it has improved over the years. Even after he learned that Dark Meta Knight played some hand in corrupting her and unleashed violence against that doppelganger, that didn't stop him from still harboring some guilt over taking dimensional mirror to give to her in the first place. He wishes he never did that. If only he knew the dangers beforehand.

He's been worried that if Sectonia's ghost is out there, she'd hate him. It seemed like she already began to hate him when she blasted him in disappointment.

That's an extra reason why he's been wanting to think of a possibility to bring her back. He'd apologize to her and hope she'd be understanding enough. He of course hoped to bring her back in her real self, when she was a spider like him, to where she'd have a higher chance of being understanding.

And... Kirby has wished just that to Morpho Knight. Even if Sectonia were to initially express disapproval to Taranza upon first being revived, he can try to express that he's sorry and didn't realize what his actions would have done to her, and perhaps they'd finally make up!

Oh... oh... this is so wonderful.

The wishes that Kirby made says something about him.

Stars, this is absolutely heartfelt. A warm, fuzzy feeling in Taranza's heart. It's eliciting heavy emotion out of him.

"Kirby... Kirby..." Taranza says, with tears already beginning to form in his eyes. "... Kirby..."

Kirby continues to smile. It seems like he knows he did the right thing.

"Y-y-you're the absolute s-sweetest thing in this entire universe!" said Taranza, voice loud and rather unsteady. The emotion in him has only been increasing. "THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS FOR ME!"

At this point, he begins to outright cry. And before he even fully realizes that he's doing it, he darts to Kirby and wraps him in a hug.

Kirby, of course, returns his embrace without any hesitation. He's always been gladly accepting of hugs, as he loves giving them himself.

This becomes a long hug. Taranza is beyond overwhelmed with emotion and tears to the point he squeezes Kirby tight during this hug. And because Kirby is squishy and boneless, it works out.

Taranza is so excited to finally see Sectonia again. More than he'd be able to put in words, really. If he and she can successfully make up with each other after everything that's happened, they could live happily together in Royal Road's castle again.

It's been ten years since Sectonia died. Ten years since Taranza has had to deal with her death. He's been without her for a decade. He has, of course, made new friends since, but it brings so much joy to realize that he'll finally see her again after ten entire years of not doing so.

The reason why Taranza has continued to live in Royal Road's castle is because it's one of the few pieces of her that he could still cling onto. He's been living in it alone without caring about living in it alone, since he doesn't want to leave the home he once had with Sectonia, although some of his friends do sometimes have sleepovers with him in it.

There's still old paintings of the two spiders hanging up on some of the castle's walls. Not just that, but some of Taranza's friends have been willing to create things in her memory that he always takes back to the castle: a drawing that Kirby made of her, masks of her from Magolor's theme park, a metallic figure of her created by Susie, and an especially beautiful painting of her created by Adeleine.

During this long hug with Kirby, Taranza wonders what Sectonia will think of these new things created in her memory when she comes back. He'll show it all to her. Hopefully, she'd appreciate it all.

It's going to be so, so exciting to finally see her again. To finally reunite with her.

It's also going to be exciting to have her meet all the friends he's made since. Kirby and King Dedede will actually get to meet the real Sectonia! Taranza is also, of course, excited to think about what Sectonia may think about his other friends. He'd be especially excited to have her meet Susie and Magolor. All his other friends deserve to meet her, too!

Eventually, Taranza pulls away after the hug lasted quite a bit. As he pulls away, he notices Kirby's forever cute smile.

"You're my hero, Kirby." he says emotionally, and then eases down during his next words. "Anyways, you did say that the Divine Terminus is where we'll have to go to see Sectonia again, correct?"

"Yes. But we have someplace else to go first!" said Kirby.

Kirby did tell Taranza about the other wish that he made, too. Something that Taranza would've also liked to see happen. Something that he believed would also deserve to happen in unison with bringing Sectonia back.

And because of this other wish, there's still another person that they need to fetch to take to the Divine Terminus as well.

"Indeed, that's right." Taranza responds. "You did also wish to bring Susie's dad back. We need to tell her about this!"

Susie became Taranza's closest alive friend after they met and connected over their grief. He has empathized with the woes that Susie has been going through regarding her father. There are so many parts of her father issues that Taranza has just considered heartbreaking. It was especially sad for him to hear her expressing self-loathsomeness for accidentally killing her dad... he empathized with that. He knows what it's like to feel the need to beat yourself up after having responsibility for a loved one's downfall.

Just like he's been hoping for a way to bring Sectonia back, he also believed Susie deserves to have her dad back. Although Susie herself believed that such a thing couldn't happen, as she's said to Taranza. She has said that even if reviving him was possible, she thinks that it wouldn't be her real dad, and that he'd just refuse to treat her like a daughter like what happened before.

Oooooh, she'll just have to wait until she hears what Kirby has made a wish about. Taranza already predicts that she's going to lose her mind, or that might even be an understatement.

"You're her hero just like you're my hero, Kirby..." said Taranza, giving the pink puffball a gentle pat on his non-existent shoulder.

Kirby, once again, smiles.

"I just want you two to be happy. You deserve it." he says. "Those deaths weren't fair anyways!"

"Honestly, Kirby? You're too good for this universe." Taranza says.

He really is. Taranza, in all honesty, has never been mad at Kirby for having to put Sectonia down when she went too far off the deep end. As much as he absolutely hated to admit it, she needed to be put down. It was a reluctant decision that they all made together. She was a danger to everyone at that point, including herself. Taranza was fully aware that Kirby was just trying to save everyone from her unbridled wrath, and doesn't fault him for it, even when Kirby himself expressed being very sad about having to put her down.

Now, when Kirby literally made a wish to Morpho Knight to revive her, and in her real self? Kirby... he's really something special, isn't he? He cared enough to do that. The amount of sweetness and care that Kirby displays is unreal.

A few moments later, Kirby and Taranza start getting ready to leave Royal Road as they hop onto their warp star, with the plan to go to Susie's home planet. The spider is already becoming extremely excited to have these reunions already happen.

"I can't wait to tell her about this." said Taranza. "What you've done for us is just... the best. You don't know how much it means to us, Kirby. Thank you so much for this."

And just like that, they fly off to Susie's home. Her home is decently far away, which makes it understandable why Kirby went to Taranza first. Floralia is still within Popstar, while Susie's home is elsewhere on another planet in outer space.

Her home isn't too far away, though. It's just close enough to where her friends are more than capable of visiting her from time to time. Getting to her home is no difficult task for Kirby and Taranza. Warp stars, of course, can move extremely fast anyways.

As the two of them fly through the cosmos on their way to Susie's planet, they anticipate she's going to be very, very stunned by the news they will break to her. Taranza is expecting her to outright hardwire and to burst in tears like he did.

Ooooh, today is going to be such a wonderful day.

So far, it's been a relatively normal day over at the headquarters of the Haltmann Works Company.

Being the current president, Susie works in her main office like usual. The latest project she's having the company perform is building a large ice cream serving machine on Planet Earthfall, as she was writing paperwork on it just earlier this morning.

Ice cream was becoming rarer and rarer on that planet, and the people there have been developing a favorable taste for ice cream, and thus Susie was courteous enough to provide that for them by having her workers make efforts to satisfy the sweet tooths there.

It was just an hour ago that many employees returned to Earthfall to continue working on the ice cream machine over there for the day. Its creation began recently, but progress on it appears to be wonderfully steady so far.

An underling steps into Susie's office, as she's quick to notice.

"Madam President!" says the employee. "Two of your friends are here, and they claim to have big news that is worthy of your attention. Is it okay if I let them in?"

Big news that is worthy of her attention? Huh. It's already making her curious on what it might be, admittedly. If her friends think that she needs to know about it, then she should listen.

"Yes. You may let them in!" Susie tells the underling.

"Of course! I'll bring them here immediately." the underling responds. And just like that, he salutes and walks off.

Susie expects one of the visitors to be Taranza, with the other one being either Magolor or Kirby. Those are the three people that visit her in her office the most often out of anyone by far.

And suddenly, she's just becoming even more curious about this apparent news they have that they think deserves her attention.

What could it possibly be?

Normally, whenever one of her friends comes by, it's just a friendly visit. Not often would one of them come by to inform her that there's something big going on.

She supposes there's no real knowing what this big news could be until they tell her what it is.

A few moments later, the visitors turn out to be Taranza and Kirby as they arrive in her office. As soon as Susie sees them, she smiles cheerfully. While she of course has no visible mouth, one can tell that she smiles when squinting her eyes in a happy pose.

"Hi, you two!" she greets them as they come closer.

"Susie, you're not going to believe what we have to tell you!" Taranza exclaims.

At that, she gasps as her expression shifts. Both because of whatever it is that they have to tell her, and how loudly and excitedly he said it.

"Morpho Knight came to me. He let me make two wishes!" said Kirby. "And one of the wishes I made is something for you!"

That right there left Susie heavily stunned.

Morpho Knight visited Kirby? That incredibly elusive knight that ostensibly comes from a butterfly? There was a time where Susie was going out of her way to have her employees try to discover him so they could learn more about this individual! And suddenly, he just came to Kirby and let him make wishes.

Not just that, but Kirby let one of wishes be something for her? What is this? Did he decide to altruistically let his wishes be for other people instead of himself?

And that Susie was one of the lucky two that he chose to wish some sort of big gift for?

Kirby had already given her many acts of kindness, but this? When he was allowed a rare opportunity to wish something for her to have?!

"My... m-my goodness, Kirby..." Susie says, with her voice being unsteady since her shock hasn't yet faded. "That's... t-that's so sweet of you! What's the thing that you wished for me?! You both just told me that it's something that I'm not going to believe, and my employee said that it was 'big news' that you have for me, so I'm really wanting to know what it is that you have for me. Please tell me!"

And so Kirby and Taranza both explain it to her.

They talk about the two wishes that Kirby made. This, of course, includes the wish that was made with Susie in mind. A wish that Kirby could've made for himself, but chose to make it for her instead.

Wait...

The wish made for her... what it was...

Did she just hear that right?

No.

No. No way. No way.

You've got to be kidding.

Susie just had the biggest startle that she's had in a long time upon hearing what the wish was.

"KIIRRBBYY!" she unsteadily screams at the top of her lungs. She didn't even intend to, but she's simply way too flabbergasted and taken aback not to.

Her body quivers during this shock. She cannot believe it. Taranza was right when he said that she wouldn't believe it.

Kirby quite literally made a wish to Morpho Knight to bring Max Profitt Haltmann back to life. That alone isn't even what made it beyond astonishing, though. He wished for Haltmann to be brought back in his right mind. Back when he actually behaved like Susie's dad when she was a little kid. Her real dad.

Not that stupid, demented, empty shell of a man that stole her dad's body. The real Haltmann. Her daddy. HIM.

AND THAT MORPHO KNIGHT APPARENTLY KNOWS ABOUT HALTMANN'S SOUL IN THE AFTERLIFE, AND SAID THAT THE EXACT WISH CAN BE DONE.

They also explained that Morpho Knight asked for Kirby to bring both Susie and Taranza over to the Divine Terminus, since that's where he will bring Haltmann and Sectonia back to life, and they have all day to get there. Oh and yeah, Kirby's other wish was to bring Sectonia back as well. It explains why Taranza is so giddy and happy. It was also very fitting and necessary to have that as his other wish!

Susie is perhaps having the biggest shock of her entire life right now.

She's... she's going to see dad again? Her dad for real? DADDY?

How. How... How in the universe...

She didn't think that all of this would've been possible. Previously, she'd had thought about the idea of trying to 'revive her father', and even contemplated over making a clone of him. Until she realized that it wouldn't be him. He still wouldn't have seen her as his daughter. And it's not like a clone could have memories of what happened before their existence. Clones don't work like that! Even if she somehow had the capability to program the clone's behavior into seeing her as its daughter, it wouldn't have memories of what happened before it comes to life. It still wouldn't actually be her real dad.

That's what made her eventually give up on the idea of 'reviving' him. She knew that it'd never actually be him. And as a result, she didn't believe that truly reviving people was possible. Cloning someone didn't truly revive someone.

But this? With there being literal confirmation that his soul exists, and his soul is of the real him? And that Morpho Knight can bring him back?

Taranza and Kirby both come right to Susie's side to help her calm down on the immense quivering.

Luckily, their efforts worked, but she stares right at her desk as she tries to comprehend what was explained to her. This is... this is something she can't even begin to fathom. She finds herself gasping a few times.

This isn't the first time Kirby had surprised Susie. No. He's done it many times before. But this instance feels different than any other instance that he's surprised her. This just feels like on a whole different level.

"Susie..." said Taranza with a worried tone in his voice. "I knew that you were going to be absolutely shocked by this, but good Nova... are you okay?!"

She doesn't immediately utter out a response, as she's not able to. The shock is still very much overwhelming her. She doesn't even know what to say right now.

A few moments pass before she can start calming down from the shock.

However, while she calmed down, something came in her mind that may be hugely relevant here.

Something that's been haunting her for a while.

When she finally allows herself to speak again, she can't help but mention this concern.

"I'm really sorry, guys. I'm just so flabbergasted by this. And Kirby, I cannot even begin to explain how absolutely sweet and wonderful it was for you to wish that. How much you cared enough to do this for me." she says. "But there's something that needs to be said about this. And it's the reason why I'm... scared. I'm scared about this happening."

That made Taranza and Kirby both very concerned. Almost like they're... wondering why she would be scared of this?

"What... why?!" Kirby asks worryingly.

The real Haltmann coming back is one thing. But another thing is what he'll think of Susie when he comes back.

What would he think about the fact that she's the one that caused his death?

"What if my dad will hate me when I see him again?" said Susie. "What if he gets mad and yells at me because I killed him? That I failed him? What do I do then?"

She's been upset at herself for a long time because she was responsible for Haltmann's death. She's had a veryhard time forgiving herself for it.

To be clear, it wasn't intentional. She had no way of knowing that stealing Star Dream's helmet from him was going to overwrite his brain and kill him. But that doesn't change the fact that she's still the reason why he's dead. It was still something that she couldn't take back.

Well, except now, because Morpho Knight will revive him. But Susie already imagines that Haltmann won't take well to having been dead for eight years. That's how long ago it was since he died.

"I... I don't think he'll hate you, Susie!" Taranza tries to assure. "Well, I can't say I would know for certain, but I just... can't imagine he will. I would at least... like to think he'd be understanding enough to forgive you, because you didn't mean to kill him. And that you regret it..."

This is... something these two have talked to each other about before.

"I feel like he'd still be upset at the fact that he's been dead in the first place, and that it was still ultimately all my fault." Susie says. She then shoots her head up to look at Taranza. "And besides, haven't you said many times before that you have the same concern about Sectonia? What if she hates you? Doesn't that worry you?"

"I won't deny that it worries me, yes." Taranza responds. "But I believe that Sectonia will be understanding enough when I apologize to her. I can't... imagine she'd grudge against me so badly to the point of refusing to forgive me when I try to explain everything and tell her that I'm sorry. I was doubtful in the past because I didn't know how she could be brought back, but now as she will be brought back, I'm more hopeful. I believe that she and I can try to finally make up! And I think you can do that with your dad, too. Of course, I've never met him to know that for sure, but I just find it hard to imagine he'd be so stubborn and angry at his own kid over something that was an accident, especially if he were to see the remorse you have."

Susie wants to believe that. And maybe Taranza could be right. Maybe her dad will be understanding enough and forgive her because it was merely an accident that she killed him. Maybe they can earnestly explain to each other, and maybe they'll be on the road to finally fix things. Maybe Susie will, indeed, finally be happily together with her dad again.

... Perhaps she's just something of a pessimist, though. Honestly, how couldn't she be, after everything she's been through? That she spent over a decade in Another Dimension and her own father didn't even recognize her when she returned? When he coldly rejected any hugs she tried to give him, and refused to wish her happy birthdays at that point? And everything she tried to do to get him to finally remember her failed miserably, and he ended up dying instead? All of that is certainly going to affect someone's confident levels.

She may just think that the chance of finally fixing things with her dad is just good to be true, considering all that's happened to her before.

Or maybe she just doesn't know her real dad well enough. After all, she hasn't seen him since she was a little girl, when that dimensional rift sucked her away. Maybe he could be more understanding than she worries about. She could just be irrationally worried. She'd hope so, as hard as it may be.

This irrational worry made her deliberately do things in his memory to try to increase the odds that he could forgive her. She continues to wear the golden hairclip that he gifted her to this day. She runs the company and uses it to consensually supply planets and people with technology, just like what her dad originally wanted before he started mechanizing planets, which she suspected that Star Dream had something do with influencing him into doing that. She even had a statue of him be built right outside her office building.

But even after doing all those things, she oddly still couldn't entirely shake off that skepticism. There was even a moment where she felt like he would've considered all her actions to make up for his death to be a complete mockery, like she was rubbing it in his face by having it exist without him. That's absolutely not the case, though. She did it to honor him. If only she knew his true self well enough to be certain that he could be honored by it, and that he'd forgive her.

"I really appreciate your optimism..." Susie says to Taranza, as she then reaches out to hold one of his hands. "I wish I could be as optimistic as you are. I think it's just really hard for me, though. I'll try. Maybe it'd just be scary to imagine him yelling at me for it at the start, though."

She couldn't imagine a worse and more humiliating fate than her dad scolding and yelling at her for accidentally killing him. Even if she were to manage to make amends with him through apologizing, an initial beef would still be highly distressing.

"He might not do that, Susie..." said Taranza, squeezing her hand tight. "Again, I don't know your dad and can't be entirely certain about it. But I just... think he'd understand! What if he's just happy to see you? Maybe... maybe he loves you. I think it can work out in the end, Susie. I... believe in you."

Admittedly, Susie feels comforted by her hand being squeezed. And really, it's so admirable how he doesn't give up in willing to predict it all positively.

Kirby has looked really sad during this conversation of skepticism. He seemed to have no idea what he even wanted to say during it, but it looks like he's about to utter something out now.

"I believe in you both!" he says. "I think all will be ok! I just wanted you to see them again. It wasn't fair that they died. I just wanted you two to be happy again!"

At that, Susie turns around to face the pink puffball, and gets up out of her office chair. As she looks at him... her big blue eyes begin to form tears.

"Kirby..." she says, with her voice growing emotion. "Kirby... little pinky. Thank you. Just, thank you. Thank you so much. For caring so much to do this. For caring enough about me to make that wish to get my daddy back, and to get Taranza's queen back too. For caring enough about us both to try to make us happy again. I can't say that I'm really for certain that my daddy will forgive me... I'm still concerned he could still be mad at first, but I cannot thank you enough for trying to make this happen in the first place. I never thought I'd say this, little pinky, but you... y-you're my hero."

As she speaks, her voice gradually increases in emotion, and the tears in her eyes grow more and more as Kirby watches. She's getting very close to just outright breaking down.

She also hasn't entirely given up the nickname she's had for Kirby, by the way. While she's of course come around to usually say his real name, there's still been occasion where she likes to use that nickname out of endearment. She does it at times where she feels more emotional than usual.

A moment after Susie finishes up her words, she comes up to the pink puffball and gives him a firm, tight hug, with him being quick to return the embrace.

To put it lightly, this is the least she can do after what he's now doing for her.

It's not like Kirby even needed to make the wishes that he did. It's not like he was under any obligation to do this.

But he chose to do it anyways, because he cares so much. It's... it's perpetually astonishing that he cares so much.

Susie weeps softly while she hugs onto the sweet little guy. There's a part of her that wants to just outright sob and wail loudly, but she's trying to restrain herself from doing that.

Even now, she still thinks that it's unbelievable. What's coming is not something that she could have ever imagined happening in her lifetime ever since Haltmann died. But here it is. And it's all thanks to that nice, sweet, cute little pink blob that she once considered to be an enemy, but made amends with after he had the courtesy to destroy Star Dream. Good riddance to that wretched machine, by the way.

The concern that Susie has of her father potentially being mad at her upon seeing her again can't be fully removed. But it's still incredibly heartfelt and touching that Kirby wants to try to make them see each other anyways, despite the risks.

She stays hugged onto Kirby for a few minutes until finally pulling away, as she tries calming down from weeping. She then gives the pink puffball a smile.

"I don't think anyone could surprise me more than you can if they tried, little pinky." she says happily.

"You are everyone's hero, Kirby!" said Taranza, as he comes closer to the pink puffball and gives him a pat on the head. "It means everything to us that you had your two wishes be to just get our loved ones back. Really, we can't thank you enough. We can't wait to go to the Divine Terminus to see them again."

Kirby gives them a cheery smile and happily giggles. He really did mean it when he said that he wants them to be happy. It's precious how much he cares.

A moment later, Susie and Taranza start playfully pinching Kirby's cheeks and patting his head. They giggle and chuckle while doing so. They've just grown an even bigger appreciation for him now. How couldn't they, after he literally requested Morpho Knight to bring their loved ones back? Neither of them care about the beef they had with him at the start and haven't for a while now, as that literally doesn't matter anymore. At this point, he's been their friend for a lot longer than he's been their enemy.

He's their little buddy. And he's also their hero.

Eventually, they calm down from playing around with Kirby.

"Okay, so there's something I first want to do before we go to the Divine Terminus. I'm aware that we still have plenty of time, like you said earlier, so it should be okay that I do this." said Susie. "I want to make a special announcement to the company about my father's revival! It's something that all my workers should know about. This is huge for all of us! They all deserve to know about it. I'll also likely need some time to do this."

"No worries, we understand!" said Taranza. "I figure they'd want to know why you'll be gone for a bit today, anyways."

Susie nods. This is different than the usual situation of her going out for the day, though. The company is largely dedicated to her father. To his memory. What he would've wanted, or at least what Susie thinks he would've wanted.

She's still very much worried that Haltmann could be mad at her upon reunion... but by the chance that he does actually end up forgiving her and love her again like she would really hope for, the company would give him a huge, warming welcome back.

Oh, how good that would feel. It's still worth it to announce it to all her employees.

"Give me about forty-five minutes to let the company know and prepare!" Susie says to Taranza and Kirby. "If you two want to go get some ice cream at our headquarters' ice cream shop here, you're more than welcome to. Or, you can check out our robotic merchandise laying around that we intend to give to other planets later. Either way, I'll let you two know when I'm ready to go!"

They both nod. They then leave her office, as they go and keep themselves occupied while she makes her announcement.

She talks on the intercom to make everyone in the headquarters hear about the special occasion, as well as calling factions of the company that are outside of the planet about it.

Just as she predicted, everyone in the company is shocked and excited. They didn't think it was possible, just like she didn't! But they give a big round of applause and anticipate his revival.

This really does feel good, doesn't it? This is such a huge moment.

... Which makes her wonder what she'll have to say to the company under the scenario that her father, upon revival, is mad at her and doesn't forgive her.

If... if that happens, then she'll cross that bridge if she has to get there. But let's... try to be more optimistic. She might not know just enough about actual daddy, but maybe he would just be understanding enough to come around and forgive her.

Susie does just one last thing before she tells Kirby and Taranza that she's ready. She takes a few minutes to go inside her bedroom to look at something before she leaves the headquarters.

In her pink cutesy bedroom, she goes over to look four specific photos that she put on one of the walls. These photos are of her and her dad together when she was little. When he still treated her like his daughter.

She discovered them when she returned to the company's headquarters after the destruction of Star Dream. When she was repairing the damage done to the headquarters and worked on reviving the company to a different direction, she was absolutely flabbergasted to discover the photos. It also made her break down profusely, though. But she wanted to keep the photos, and found a place for them as she designed her bedroom while revamping the headquarters.

In general, it made her flabbergasted to discover any of her childhood stuff still somehow existing in the headquarters when it was a heavily damaged mess. She even found the big stuffed teddy bear that her dad gave to her as an early birthday present when she was little! It was old and withered when she found it, but she's patched it up. She patched up her childhood stuff in general and kept them as something that she can still cling onto of the memories that she and her father had a very, very long time ago. After accidentally killing him, the bare minimum she could do was still cling onto any old memories left, as one of her ways to show remorse.

She's then been taking new photos to store in her bedroom as time went on, though. Alongside the old childhood photos of her and her dad, her room also has photos of her and Taranza, of her and Magolor, and of her and Kirby. She made the decision to occasionally take pictures with them using a camera that she created shortly after reviving the company. It's a kind little gesture to show that she's grateful to have them as friends. That way, she'd also have more recent memories to look back on, as opposed to only memories of her childhood, which just made her really sad.

The childhood photos that have her dad on them are special ones, though.

"Hey, daddy..." Susie speaks to one of photos that have him on them, as this one has them sitting together. She tries not to tear up. "If you're out there, I want you to know that I'll be happy to finally see you again. I'm still so, so sorry that I ended up getting you killed. But at least I'm so happy you'll finally be coming back. Would you forgive me when I come to apologize to you? I... I hope you can. I want to give you a hug when we meet again. I love you. I'll see you there at the Divine Terminus."

A hug was all she wanted when she escaped Another Dimension to see daddy again. But at that point, he wasn't daddy anymore. But now as daddy may actually come back for real, maybe the two Haltmanns can finally have a hug again… if he's understanding enough to not hate her.

After a couple more minutes, she then walks out of her bedroom. She just wanted to look at those photos for a second before she started leaving to see her dad again.

She believes she's ready to go now.

Susie finds Kirby and Taranza right outside of the ice cream place in the headquarters, and tells them she's ready. Everyone in the company now knows about what's going to happen.

Here we go. The big moment is going to begin, as nervous as Susie is about it.

"Yay!" Kirby says excitedly as they begin. "I can't wait! Let's go!"

The warp star that Kirby and Taranza used to get here is still around, luckily. That's what they'll use to get to the Divine Terminus, and they get Susie to hop aboard on it as well.

At first, Susie wasn't sure how she felt about sharing the warp star with them to get there. She almost always uses her business suit as her transportation to get to places. However... it's literally Kirby and Taranza that she's riding with. They both care about her and won't let anything hurt her.

Eventually, finally, the three of them together use the warp star to fly out of the Haltmann Works Company's headquarters and start heading their way towards the Divine Terminus.

This is... this is really going to be a huge moment, isn't it?

Kirby is super happy to finally get this to start happening. He'll be so glad for his friends to finally regain what they lost.

Unsurprisingly, Taranza is extremely excited to see Sectonia again, and he's more than confident that he can make it up with her. Susie wishes she could say the same about being able to make it up with her dad, though. There's still a part of her that can't shake off the feeling that her dad might hate her, as much as she wishes for the opposite.

Let's see what happens when Morpho Knight starts bringing their loved ones back to life.
