Gaius → Nah

[yoyake]

Nah: You look familiar somehow...
Wait...are you my father?
Gaius: So you're the Nah of this world, huh?
Nice to meet you, kid.
Nah: You're a ghost, aren't you?
Not that I mind.
I'm just happy to have you back.
I...I've missed you so much!
*Sob*
Gaius: Sorry to break it to you, but I'm not the
ghost of your old man.
I'm not even from this world. I'm another
Gaius, come here from the Outrealms.
So in a way, I guess I am your dad.
But also...not. If that makes sense?
Nah: You're my father from another world?
Gaius: Yeah, that's about the size of it.
And I'm here to rescue you.
I'm sure I'm no substitute for the
real thing, but...I'll do what I can.
I should be able to get you out
of this mess, at least.
Hey, you ever eat one of these candies?
They're the best.
Why don't you get yourself someplace
safe and try one?
Nah: Sure, I know these. They're the ones they
say you used to carry everywhere with you...
Gaius: Oh yeah?
Nah: I don't remember anything about my
real father at all...
But when I used to get lonely, I'd buy
some of these and try to imagine him...
The taste of these candies is the only
real connection I have with him...
Gaius: Nah...
Nah: They taste like... *sniff*
They taste like...home...
*Sob*
Gaius: There, there, kiddo. It's okay to cry.
You cry all you want.
And when the tears stop flowing,
I'll still be right here by your side.
