You rapidly feel like this situation is approaching something critical. So, before either can do anything you step forward, arms spread wide as you stand between them. Pointing a palm at each of them.
“Hold on. Everyone, calm down.” you say, giving Towa a glare before turning back to Merus. “We're not here for a fight.”
“Then explain yourselves. Interfering in the time stream can have catastrophic effects.” Merus says seriously. “Answer me.”
“it is as I said. I added extra security to the seal, ensuring no one can break it easily. Any attempts to free Moro will instead kill him.” Towa tells him seriously. “As for why, that is simple: I live here now. And I don't want that monster free in this world to endanger our children.”
“Hold on, our?” he asks, looking from her to you and back, confused. “You...? And him...?”
“Three times.” Towa says, the man's expression contorting as several emotions vie for dominance. But then her face turns a bit red, adding, “Well, it was more than three times, but we have three children together.”
Merus says nothing, simply staring at you both wordlessly. You can feel his disdain as he stares at you both, but his feelings don't really affect you. Instead you turn to Towa, reaching out across her and putting your left hand on her right shoulder.
“Come on. We're done here.” you tell her, Towa breaking eye contact with Merus and looking to you. To which she smiles, nodding.
“You're right. We finished what we came here to do, Moro will never escape this place alive.” she replies, powering back down to her normal form. “Let's go.”
“Wait. You didn't really... Chronoa is okay, isn't she?” Merus asks, sounding worried. You both look back to him, Towa smirking.
“I'm sure Mechikabura will let your father know, in time.” she replies, you seeing Merus' expression pale in shock. Towa then turns, using her magic to open a rift back to your ship. Wordlessly you both go through, Towa sealing it behind you as if it never were. Leaving you both alone back in your bedroom.
“Well?” Future Chaya asks telepathically, reaching out to you both the moment you step through.
“He's not getting free. Not now, or ever.” Towa tells her, you feeling your daughter's disappointment through the link.
“Awww. Oh well, there's still Baby when he's ready.” Future Chaya replies, you wondering why that name sounds familiar as well. You know you've heard that before, but where?
