BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Nnngghh!"
"Uncle! Y-You're slowing down!"
"C-Calm down. It's okay! Uncle's here, Helena! I won't ever let go of you again! I'm so sorry for dying…! I…!"
"You don't have to be sorry about anything. It was an accident! None of us could have predicted it… But still, it was my fault, not yours."
"What?!"
