The atmosphere in the room was still heavy, but beneath the sorrow, there was already a trace of warmth from being reunited.
Norman looked at Megan, then at Sophia. He took a deep breath, eager to share the good news with them.
He tightened his grip on Megan’s hand. Though his voice was still weak, it carried a firmness he had not felt in a long time, along with a faint glimmer of hope.
“Megan, Sophia, there’s something… I need to talk to you about.” He paused and glanced at Dominic. “Captain Walton and the others didn’t just come here to see me. They also brought news… news that might change our family’s future.”
Megan’s heart tightened, and she looked at Norman nervously.
As clearly and slowly as he could, Norman told Megan about Planet A001, Tycoon Farm, and the natural food produced there that was said to help heal mental power damage.

With her other arm, she pulled Sophia close and looked at Norman with clear, steady eyes before turning to Dominic. Her voice was quiet, but every word was firm, carrying the resilience and clarity of someone who had survived hardship.
“We’ll go. We’re going. I don’t care where that place is or what it’s like. If there’s even the slightest chance it can help you get better, then it’s worth it. As long as we can be together as a family, as long as we never have to be apart again, as long as you never have to go back to a place like that by yourself… we’re going.”
There was no blind excitement in her voice, no unrealistic fantasy, only the simplest and truest choice.
