Goodbye, my son.

Thank you for taking care of him, girls. I know he’ll be home soon.

I mean it, mister.

Maaa.

And comb your hair in the morning, for goodness sake.

You take care of yourself. You hear me? And I don’t care how many people that fuddy-dud old demon has working for him. You pick up your room.

Oho, I know I am, Seth Mouse.

Yes, my boy?

Ma?

You are always welcome here. But you need to be a man now, Sethy.

And then, perhaps, we can finally be a family again.

You don’t know how badly your father and I ache to see you come home. Every day has been a heartbreak, again and again, waking up without you here.

Darkness is like a weed, son. Left untended, it will grow and sprout and multiply until the whole earth is covered. You must uproot it, so that more beautiful things may grow.

And there will never be a proper one for you here, son, until you face your problems.

I found him.

So a few nights ago, I had some free time and decided to go to the old clocktower in Twilight Town. I don’t think I’ve been there for ten or more years. I uh… I wasn’t doing too good. I was thinking about all the cra- uh, stuff, that’s happened in the past couple months.

Past couple a years, actually. And it made me… well, mad, but frustrated, mostly. A little bit… sad, even. And then I was thinking about all the good things, too- Cat n Lex, Gabe. And everything I stood to lose because of it. 

I knew I was kinda playing with fire being so close to a Disney realm, but I couldn’t help it. It was the first time in a long time I actually felt like myself. But…

It’ll mean more coming from you, dear.

Ma, should I-?

Sethy.

Uhh

Allow me to go in first. I’ll let him know you’ve arrived.

Well, here we are.

Now, Pluto. We have company. Do try to mind your manners~
