Tal: Chosen one? What are you talking about?
Samaha: Please take this sweatah and help Flora Kingdom. It is in grave dangah and yah're our only hope...
Tal: Uh... (I have no idea what he's talking about...)
Samaha: I must go now. I'll talk to yah tomorra. Se yah, man! Packs up and leaves.
Tal: Okay, that was weird... At least I didn't have to pay for this sweatshirt.
Mom: Tal, let's go!
Tal: Okay!
Tal and his mom drive home. Tal: Starts heading to his room, but his mom stops him.
Mom: Wait, Tal! I have something for you.
Tal: Huh? What is it?
Mom: It's from the yard sale. Gives him a cyan-colored sphere.
Tal: Wow, what is this?
Mom: I don't know, but isn't it beautiful? Just looking at it makes you so relaxed... Hopefully it'll help you get through what happened...
Tal: ...
Mom: You still miss him a lot don't you? I miss him just as much as you do...
Tal: Dad... Why did he have to die...
Mom: To save you from that fire, remember?
Tal: ...
Mom: Your father was a hero to everyone in this town. No one here will ever forget him.
Tal: Then why did he sacrifice himself just to save me?
Mom: Don't talk like that. He really cared about you, Tal.
Tal: But...
Mom: Anyway, it's getting late. You'll be fine in your room alone, right?
Tal: Yeah... Goes to his room and lies down on his bed staring at the sphere she gave him. Mom was right, this sphere does make you feel relaxed... really relaxed... zzz... Falls asleep holding the orb.
