Coming Together, Pt 2

After much organization and planning and scheduling, Eva, Miko, and Mack reconvened a couple of cycles later. They were joined by Eva’s grandparents, who were positively ecstatic to hear that Eva was still alive.

The two of them looked like your typical caucasian grandparents - they were in their 60s and had completely grey hair. They were both thin and frail, but their eyes were full of life.

All three of them cried when they saw each other - the strain of their loss was difficult to bear. They thought she had died, and she thought she was never going to see them again.

“Grandpa! Grandma!” Eva cried.

“Eva darling!” replied her grandma. “It’s so good to see you again! We were so fraught when you disappeared… But now everything is right again! You’re alive!”

Even though they were separated into two completely different universes, Eva felt their warmth envelop her. It was as though they were right next to each other - the moment was that powerful for them.
