San Myshuno, countryside. Three month later...

[birds chirping]

[children laughing] 

Lucy: It's getting cold, my babies. Let's go inside!

Jamaal: No mama, a little bit more, please!

Lucy: Five minutes!

King: You heard mommy. Five minutes.

Coco: Again, daddy! Again!

King: Coco wants to fly again, huh? Here you go!

Coco: Yez! *laughs*

Jamaal: *giggles* The way you laugh is so funny, Coco! Right, dad?

King: You both are funny, sweetheart. Like your dad! 

Kichi: Don’t be scared little boy, I’m not gonna hurt you. I’m looking for your mom.

Jamaal: You… you look like my mama.

Kichi: That’s because I’m your mama’s twin sister, sweetie.

Jamaal: Auntie Kichi?

Kichi: I see, she told you about me, uh?

Lucy: Stay away from him! And I’m not gonna say twice! How did you get in?! Turn fucking around! Answer! 

Kichi: You should better fix your fences, sis…

Lucy: Kichi?! You gotta be fucking kidding me! Oh my! I can’t believe my eyes!

Kichi: Lucy…

Lucy: Fucking shit! I knew! I knew you’re alive! I knew!

Kichi: Me too, I knew, too. *sobs* I knew!

Lucy: How..?!

Kichi: Jess, she told me where I can find you.

Lucy: That crazy bitch! I love that crazy bitch!

Why did it take you so long, Kichi?! Why? It’s just been… it’s… it’s been so fucking hard! I’ve been waiting for you! *sobs* I did all this time!

Kichi: Hey, I’ve come, baby. I’m here.

Jamaal: Mama… Are you okay?

Lucy: It’s fine baby. It’s just… It was so hard! *sobs*

Kichi: I know… *sobs* It has been hell for me, too. I missed you so much! *sobs*

Lucy: Fuck! I’ve been waiting!

Kichi: I know - I know! I thought of you every day, every fucking day!

Lucy: Me too. Every single day.

Lucy: Hey sweetie, what’s wrong?

Jamaal: I don’t understand, mama. Dad didn’t want to take me to the factory with him, but I want to see auntie Blue and work like him there.

Lucy: I will take you there next time, okay?

Jamaal: You say that all the time, but nothing ever happens. I'm not a little kid anymore!

Lucy: That’s why we need you here, keeping watch and protecting your little sisters, right? 

Jamaal: Right...

Lucy: Each of us has a work to do and I need your help. And you don’t want to leave me alone with this responsibility, I know that.

Jamaal: Fine. But... can we invite auntie for dinner? Some day? At least? I miss her.

Lucy: Of course, that’s a great idea.

Jamaal: Thank you mama. I’m going out to keep the watch.

Lucy: All right, just call me if you need anything, okay?

Jamaal: I will be fine.

...keeping me there for the watch... yeah sure. Just like everyday, but just like everyday there’s never gonna happen anything around here. They still keep thinking that I’m a little child and they need to protect me, sheesh.

???: Not much happening around here, right? Aren’t you a little bit small to have so many reasons to complain? You know, you should probably pay more attention instead... Maybe?
