( Her eyes went wide, then she slowly embraced him back, hiding her face against his shoulder. )
You feel as warm as I’ve remembered long ago. You feel like /home/.
I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. . for everything.
. . .
You are not at all cold MEI, you are the warmth I've missed. Now then, come here -
[ He approached her and opened his arms, hugging his Princess ]

I cannot fault you for your decisions, but I cannot lie and say I’m a bit sadden our son grew up without the love I’d have hoped for him from his own father.
Yet, you’ve suffered for far too long. . so, so long.
There is something you have to know about Adam. Despite being your look-alike, I used one of my own ovum in his creation; in a way, it was the only way to ensure his survival.
Su is aware of this truth, but it was one I didn’t wish for you to know until now.

I had a feeling you were lying ——
Which is why when battling the Final Herrscher. . .
I hoped it would kill me. So that I could meet you after death.
(un-)Fortunately, I survived.
And all I had left that was made by you was Adam, and your plans.
If I could have had any other wish, was to simply hold you before my death.
I’m sorry I lied, but I knew if you were aware, you’d stay by my side until my last breath. I didn’t want to add more to your stresses; I didn’t want to be a burden.
. . .
We knew there were risks.
Me and the other MOTHs understood the costs.
But —— I will say. . .
Not being able to hear your voice, gaze upon your face for the last 50,000 years has been far worse.
The day I came back and saw your funeral, is the day my humanity died.
If it weren’t for me, you’d be. . . you’d be. . . I’m sorry. For the surgery, for what you cannot feel anymore.
I’m sure you miss it, the hugs and simple caresses of another human being.
Why do you think that is ?
MEI ——
From the moment I met eyes with you on that basketball court, I knew. . .
I knew you were the one I wanted.
No one interested me the way you did.
No one was as smart as you were.
No one — Compares to you.
