“Oh, how could I forget? She was also morbidly obese.” You point out. The duck stands in shock.
“Is the password you mentioned so important to waste your time talking to her? It’s obvious you don’t want anything to do with her.” Kobashi wants the full picture.
“I think the decision should rest on my friend’s shoulders. She’s her mother. I don’t want to take the chance from her.” You aren’t sure about it. If your dad showed up in duck form, despite how much you hate him, you’d want to see it… to make fun of him. “I’m kinda worried that she’ll get mad at me for bringing her back, as far as she knows, she’s dead and gone, and has made peace with it.”
“Quack…” Dorothy didn’t like hearing that either, but in a subdued way.
“I’m sure your friend is going to find forgiveness in her! Mothers need to correct their children to fulfill their potential. I’m sure she had your friend’s best interests in mind, Mr. Phil.” Fiora says some fucked up things to cheer you up.
“Quack!” Dorothy nods in agreement. You want to smack her stupid duck head, but it’s not her body. And honestly, you should keep your feelings down, you aren’t sure what their relationship was like in detail. You doubt there’s room for forgiveness, but you can’t deny there’s a chance.
“Even if she gets angry at you, she’ll understand where you’re coming from... eventually.” Kobashi helps ease your mind. “Just be ready to apologize so that ‘eventually’ doesn’t take an ‘eternity’, you understand?”
“Yup.” You nod.
Suddenly, Philonune alerts you that there’s a little spaceship coming from the night sky! It’s none other than the brave little fairy, Naiad! Like last time, she goes through the house like a ghost and lands right on the dining table next to you four. She pops out of the cabin in a victory pose!
“Naiad!” You use the fish pinky cap to telepathically talk to her! “You heard my call! You weren’t busy, right?” You pet her head.
Naiad shakes her head and begins pantomiming. Informing you that San Wich and she were working on shrinking the gate to this world to its minimum size possible without closing it entirely. Just open enough for you and your friends to be able to leave when the time comes. At this point in the process, she was merely watching it unfold since it’s all a delicate process only San Wich can do, and it needs his entire concentration or something bad might happen. That’s why she didn’t hesitate to heed your call!
“You’ve done great work, fairy. We’re in your debt.” Philonune bows.
