The days passed by since I cried in Dr. T's arms. I was put into lots of medical treatments and soon had physical therapies to treat my weakened muscles and bones. Their treatments were so advanced. I had visited the doctors back home many times and they were nothing like this. Medical robots treated my weakened body day by day. I was soon walking by myself within a week. Dr. T was also teaching me like a school teacher. I had missed almost 10 years worth of education. One day Dr. T called me to his workplace. 

"Rin, I was looking through the ship's system and I found something interesting"

"How is it interesting?"

"It's filled with data. Data about your father and many other things"

"What is so special about that?"

"It's meant for the simulator you were in. The data was so much the ship wouldn't be able to handle it so it was stored away. I have a feeling if we use our simulator we can find out what it is"

"That's great. Maybe we can learn more of what had happened"

"Yes, though there is one problem"

"Problem?"

"The memory has pieces of data that are fragmented or still hidden"

"So it will not work?"

"It would be dangerous to try. If it fails the whole thing might get destroyed." No..we were so close. We could've found out what memories the ship help that I didn't know. Memories...memories! Papa said something about it.

"Will my memories work?"

"Your memories?"

"Yes, I have memories of my time at home and maybe I can help fill in what the ship doesn't know"

"Hmm. That may just work. Come with me." I follow Dr. T as he brings us to a large empty room.

"Where are we?"

"This is our simulator room. We use this for virtual combat and survival situations." I look around in awe. "Okay Rin, I want you to tell the room what you remember and I'll add the files from the ship"

"Will it work for sure?"

"It's a shot in the dim light but, it is worth the shot." I stare at him in confusion. "It the best chance we have." I nod in agreement. This is it. All I have to do is tell the room the memories I remember. I begin to tell the room of the memories as Dr. T add files from the ship. It begins to build what was being received. I tell the room about my home, the shrine and park and what I remembered about my world and Papa.

"That's all I remember. Sorry if it isn't enough"

"No, we have just enough. One more file and that's all of it." Dr. T swipes the final file from his screen to the room. A bright light fills the room. Dr. T and I cover our eyes with our arms. The light begins to fade. 

I lower my arm to see a figure standing in the middle of the room. He was tall, colored an orange-pink and had a fatherly look. It was...

"Papa?"

"Rin? Is that you?" I walk closer to him. The resemblance was so accurate. The light beard he had, the hair and soft look of his face. "It's been so long. I'm so sorry for leaving you like that. You were so youn-" I hug Papa. He had a sort of warmth. One I would never forget.

"Papa, I'm glad your back"

"And I glad to see you again." He wraps his arms around me for a hug. A hug I missed so dearly.

"I have so many questions. What happened? How are you here?"

"How about we start at the beginning." Dr. T brings over two chairs for us to sit in. He gets some water to boil for some tea. 

"You were born into this world by your mother. A young, healthy and beautiful girl with hair like your mother and a nose like mine. Though you have your mother's beauty" Papa says with a chuckle. I unconsciously place a hand to my face.

"I looked like mom?"

"Mm-hmm. Your mother had a weak heart so even child birth was hard on her. The doctors had given her ten months to live. She was a fighter though and lived to see your first birthday." Papa wipes a tear from his eye. "A few months later her condition worsened. She had to be hospitalized. Even then, she gave you lots of love even to her last moments. When she passed I promised to keep you happy. It would be what she would've wanted." I feel tears well up in my eyes but, I held them back. I didn't want Papa to see me crying. "The months went by and we lived a peaceful life. Well, that was until the disaster. The news was reporting a planet sized object headed to our planet. This was going to cause the planet to be destroyed. I immediately began building the schematics for a two person rocket ship. It was going well but, I miscalculated something.."

"What was it? What was miscalculated?"

"Time" Papa says tapping the back of his wrist. The motion of tapping your wrist watch. "I thought I had enough time to build a ship for two people but, I did not. The planet was approaching closer and closer by the weeks. I now knew that our time would be shortened. Using the time we had in the day I spent every moment I could with you, giving all the love I could. Then at night, I worked as fast and efficient as I could to complete it. I even used some time to celebrate Christmas and even to go out to the park"

"I still have the teddy bear with me. It always gave me comfort when I needed it"

"I'm glad to hear it. You would always play with it when I was working. Then one day, the news showed video of the Mirai space telescope. The planet was already entering our orbit. I wasn't going to finish the ship in time. I immediately changed my plan and fixed the ship to carry only you. I think around this time I did your hair and dressed you up in a kimono as we headed out to the shrine. I prayed for you to have a safe journey and to stay happy even though I had left. Soon the ship was ready. 

I had brought you to see it and told you we were going on a special trip. You would head out first and I would be behind. You started to cry saying you wanted me to go with you but, I said I couldn't and promised I'll be right behind you. I put you into an artificial coma and hooked you into the ship's simulator. I placed your teddy bear with you and wiped away a tear from your closed eye. This was going to be the last moment I was going to be with you so I wanted to make it last. I close the hatch and go into the distance for the launch. 

I launched the ship into space and watch as the smoke made it's trails to the heavens above. I prayed everyday for your safe travels as everyone evacuated or made the best of their last moments. I wanted to leave you a message so with the remaining time and materials I had I built a satellite to send you a letter. I typed it out and sent it. I knew it would a while before you received it but, by the time you got it you might be old enough to understand."
