[One month following the Twin Tower Terror attack]

>Jerid:...I had to call in more favors than you can imagine to be back here. Tamaki-

Tamaki's hand jitters as she tries to hold her cup of tea straight, with the man she had come to view as the catalyst for her families destruction, along with the man to have struck down the terrorist "Amate Yuzuriha" at New Yark. With the death of her husband in New Yark and her daughter publicly claimed to have been responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands, Tamaki is placed under house arrest, along with her career and accolades being permanently torn away from her.

>Jerid: Tamaki, are you listening? Your daughter...Amate. She a truly talented girl. Had things been different, had I...I made a mistake. I saw that talent, and I failed to realize that she was...I'm sorry, but she was just mentally sick.
>Tamaki:...You murdered my child, and you came here to mock her in front of me?
>Jerid: No! I want you to know that you are not alone in this. We both made mistakes. What Amate did though? Never blame yourself for that.

Feeling a sense of immense danger, Tamaki looks past Jerid to her apartments front door.

>Jerid: It's only us.
>Tamaki:...Why did you send them away? What...why are you-
>Jerid: You are prone to making terrible decisions. I met your husband on Earth-
>Tamaki: What?
>Jerid: I understand why your daughter turned out the way she did. Again, it isn't your fault. All of that talent, all of what she could have been...that came from you. Everything else? I am sorry for your loss, but he-

Throwing her glass of tea against Jerid's uniform, Tamaki huffs wildly as her unrestrained hatred for Jerid spills onto her face.

>Jerid:...Amate genuinely nearly killed me on Earth. That absolute dumbass...had things been different, she might have even grown to be better than me. I was always taught to take responsibility. Never understood what my old man meant by it...until now. Come with me to Earth.
