Ails turned his head to look at Malin, giving a thumbs up.

Malin extended his hand, waiting for Mars's response. The child hesitated, wavering under the gaze of his ancestor, until the Cat Girl on the screen moved her hand away from her mouth. Her gaze toward the portal carried a piercing question that struck deep into Mars's heart.
"Is that you, Mars? Please come back, won't you? I don't want to live alone; it's so hard, so lonely... Come back, please, come back to keep me company. Don't we, the Pantheon clan, deserve to live in this world, licking our wounds together and somehow carrying on?"
