A smile found its way to Taka’s face. Not only had he fully recovered but he had improved.

‘Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.’

A famous quote by Pablo Picasso found its way into Taka’s mind and seemed to fit the current situation perfectly. With his sudden recovery came a shocked Emily, Snow however didn’t even react, he had already gotten used to Taka’s extra-ordinariness. Although seeing that Taka had recovered made him breathe a sigh of relief.

When Emily was one hundred percent sure that Taka had completely recovered from his exhaustion, she finally gave him permission to return home.

After packing his things up, he proceeded to leave his room before shortly meeting up with Snow to get ready to leave.

Making sure he had got everything he needed they continued to the lobby where an awe-inspiring scene played out before him.

The entire lobby was filled with the staff of the research institute from security to the scientists to everyone in between. As he walked Taka was greeted with military salutes from the security and thanks from the rest.

A feeling of accomplishment swelled up from deep within Taka.

As he continued he heard a commotion.

Turning, his eyes widened noticing what the commotion was.

The few people who were injured by Abigail Joseph’s men had come.

Standing with their comrades, they saluted. Despite their injuries they still saluted causing themselves great pain but it was a form of great pride and honour for these ex-soldiers, to express their respect and thanks to the person that had saved them.

As cold blooded as Taka thought himself to be, he couldn’t help but wipe a tear from his eye and salute back; in his eyes these ex-soldiers deserved all the respect, defending the weak despite the chance of injury or worse death; but they still held their ground.

Snow who was standing beside him suddenly received a premonition.

Within Taka he could see a great leader growing.

A leader that would one day have a great impact on this world of theirs.

A leader that would be blessed with the love and respect of all.

Thinking this Snows mouth curled into a smile.

They finally made it to the car and started their journey back to the Everlast house.

As they left Taka waved goodbye to Emily and everyone at the facility.

The inside of the car was peaceful.

Radio on low.

Windows down.

A light breeze blowing into the car and the sound of the road beneath the cars wheels.

Time passed as they drove, though it was quiet there was no awkwardness between Snow and Taka.

Nearing Taka’s home, Snow finally spoke in a tone full of pride.

“You did good kid.”

Hearing this Taka looked at Snow and nodded.

With that nod they both understood the meaning behind it.

The roads continued to twist and turn.

They finally arrived outside of Taka’s home.

Stepping out of the car, Taka just stood and gazed at his home. Memories of the past began to surface once again. Memories of him and sister. Remembering the happy times, Taka became stuck in his reminiscence, only to be broken out of it by the very person he was thinking about opening the door to his house.

Without showing signs of any sort of hesitation he dived into his sister embrace. As soon as he was within his sister’s embrace his flashbacks reoccurred. Though the physical side effects of his berserker state had subsided, the mental ones were still apparent.

Memories that he hadn’t remembered for a long time in his previous life time began resurfacing. Taka was neither happy nor sad about this, he appreciated the happy memories and hated the bad ones but one fact was true. These memories though holding significance had no purpose in his current life. All the things he was remembering would never happen in this life or would be different.

Times were different and so was he.

When Snow saw Taka jump into his sister’s embrace, a shocked expression filled his face. In all the time he had spent with Taka this was a first. The first time he had seen Taka truly act his age, to truly act like a child.

Taka eventually removed himself from his sister’s embrace but as he did his sister looked at him in worry, as far as she remembered Taka had never been one to randomly hug her like that unless something was wrong.

Seeing his sister stare at him a bright smile blossomed on Taka’s face stunning his sister. He finally spoke.

“I’m home.”

Hearing the happiness in his voice Becky couldn’t help but replicate his smile. Pulling him into yet another hug and taking him in the house.

Snow soon followed after being invited in by Taka’s father.

Soon after they entered laughter could be heard from the Everlast household.

Snow now understanding Taka seemed to fit in with the Everlast family perfectly.

By the time he came to leave Taka’s father had already claimed him as his brother after hearing Taka call him Uncle, in addition to how well they got along; just watching Snow and Taka together made the family laugh. They were like old friends constantly bickering and joking with each other, at times one would forget the age gap between the two.

The time finally came for Snow to leave. Though Taka’s father appeared to be reluctant to see him go.

Bidding the family farewell, he walked to Taka and hugged him while slipping a mobile phone to him, telling him that he would contact him in a few days if not before when he had obtained the information Taka had requested. With a simple nod he departed leaving the Everlast family to enjoy the rest of their night together.
