-Twenty years later after the Tulpar crash-

Curly had been found inside the cryopod, had been rescued and brought under special medical care. Over time his burned skin had completely healed, but at least the missing parts of his body like his nose and lips had been surgically reconstructed.

As hard as the rehabilitation had been, he was finally back home. Getting used to having his hands and legs back after they had been amputated and replaced with prosthesis was to say the least strange, but he was grateful you were there to help him with housework, grocery shopping and his physical therapy.

Curly could see the physical change, and it was the biggest blight on his mental health, not only were his friends dead and he couldn't do anything, but now he found himself in a body that did not belong to him.

His body was sitting on the couch after the long session of physical therapy, while he waited for you to come back from shopping, you were now his only lifeline.

He really was a wreck when he was without you, and he really needed you to stay.
