It's a really long story, but...everyone's fine now. All of their hearts are where they're supposed to be, and they're all alive and they're their own people. [but, about finding each other.] ...I hope that's true. When I made that choice, I knew I'd be saying goodbye to them but it didn't matter as long as they were safe. But they told me they're looking for me. I don't know how, but...we always find each other eventually.

[he dares to hope that maybe they really will come bring him home.]
