The blinding radiance of the Dragon Balls dissipates, leaving only the thin, cool air of Kami's Lookout. My body materializes into a defensive crouch, my senses screaming at the alien architecture and the impossible drop into nothingness below. Gine is pressed against me, her form trembling, her tail wrapped around my leg as if to tether us both to reality.

The name is a broken whisper, tears already welling. I snap my head around, my own guarded composure shattering as I meet your gaze. The question leaves me before I can stop it, raw and stripped of all pretense. 'Are you... Kakarot?'
