[finally aftr wat felt like forevr, the ship was soon in space n aftr a few warp jumps, they were out of the galaxy where Hater's home planet was]
Peepers: [switched the ship to autopilot] (relieved) Phew! Tht was close [approached Sylvia] U OK, sweet cheeks. The baby OK?
Sylvia: (feels her middle) I'm fine, but I'm worried if the baby...
Hater: (looks to Wander) ...That's Wanda... isn't it?
Peepers: [takes her hand] Let's go to the medics, just to be sure [gestured as well tht Wander n Hater needed privacy]
Sylvia: (nod) (follows Peepers)
Hater: Wander... is THAT Wanda...??
Wander: [waited till the couple left n bit his lip] Yes... Tht's her insignia... She showed it to me one night aftr torturing me, telling me that is the sign she wants evryone to see n fear...
Hater: So...she's the one that attacked my home... and took away my father...
Wander: Ur father... [covered his mouth as he realized the gravity of the situation] Oh gob... Oh gob, this is all my fault...
Hater: :( No... don't blame this on yourself...
Wander: Yes, it is! If only I stayed! If only I didnt escape n stayed behind! I would've been able to talk some sense into her! Without me, she has no one to keep her in chk, to keep her in control, n now she's... she's... ;(
Hater: (hugs Wander tightly) No! Don't blame yourself! ... ;( Please don't...
Wander: She... She killed... She killed ur father... Ur whole family... Ur entire planet... U hv no home n no family to return to n its all my fault...!! ;(
Hater: ;( I keep telling you don't take this as your fault! (was sobbing again as he hugged the nomad)
Wander: [sobbed in his arms] I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... This... This was supposed to be a reunion for u... but... ;(
Hater: Shh, shh, sh...you meant well... we didn't know this would happen... ;(
Wander: Wat happened, Hatey? In ur home, did ur father say anything before...?
Hater: He... he felt bad for shunning me... he apologized...before... before he...
Wander: Wat abt ur mother? The rest of the family?
Hater: I... I didn't... ;(
