[it was a bit of a long trip, abt 30 mins, bt they finally made it to the place]
Sylvia: Wow, all out in the boonies, huh?
Peepers: (nod)
Sylvia: [paid the cab driver n got out with Peepers n the kids] Wow, I can see why they call this community cemetery [looking at all the headstones ard, some not even marked or named]
Peepers: (signs) Hope we find Mother's.
Sylvia: Hope so. That's a lot to scan thru [took over pushing the pram as she started looking]
Peepers: (also looked around)
Sylvia: [navigated the pram ard as she looked abt, trying to keep an eye on those tht r closer to the yr of the incident]
Peepers: (think) ... (spots a grave)
Sylvia: [didn't notice, was still looking at her end]
Peepers: (dusted off the grave) ... (signs) Sylvia!
Sylvia: [looked up to see him] Wats wrong? U found something?
Peepers: (nod)
Sylvia: [pushed the pram n quickly made her way towards him]
Peepers: (dusted off more from the grave)
Sylvia: [leaned in to see the grave headstone]
Headstone: Here lies Orb Watchdog, beloved mother and wife
Sylvia: :O Woah... There she is...

Peepers: ... (signs) I'm sorry, mother... I should've done something...to protect you like you were protecting me... I should've been that sort of son, but I wasn't... :(
Sylvia: [just listened quietly, letting Peepers hv his moment]
Peepers: (signs) But knowing you, you'd forgive me anyhow, and Father as well... Hopefull you both can see each other again, keep an eye on me and my family...
Sylvia: :) [smiling curtly, trying to imagine tht she might be there, watching ovr Peepers]
Peepers: (signs) I'll still miss you Mother, just...take care of Father, and hopefully he'll do the same for you... :)
