To say Billy is startled by the intensity of the emotion is an understatement. But more importantly, he's deeply moved. And now, he's quite certain that he bonded with the right someone.
"Hey, it's okay." He kneels and reaches out without hesitation, wrapping Renne in a gentle metaphysical hug. "I've missed them all this time, and it's been difficult to adapt without their support, but one of them is here with me," he says as the softer black light flares. "And all the others are asleep in the Pod Caverns. They might awaken someday---if they do, I'd be honored to introduce you to them. But even if they don't, I'll protect them until we end this war."
A twinge of loneliness flares within him, but it's tempered by the memories here and the mini-family he's found aboard Stacy. "Besides," he says with a tiny smile, "if we hadn't been separated I never would have met you."
