[It really is impossible to resist her enthusiasm, and her confidence. He can't help wondering if this is what his life was like, before the Krang destroyed their base and took everything away. How much more like her would he have been?
It's not a regret, exactly. He'll always be grateful for everything sensei and everyone else did. But he's so very grateful for this, too. This second chance to learn from Mom.]
[On the inside, she does feel inklings of fear and doubt as she thinks about her, or rather her other self's fate. Even if that's a timeline that no longer exists, it still means it is possible for her to fall and die on her child. But this is a world of vaster possibilities, and she ultimately feels determined to keep becoming stronger so this can be a world where she never leaves her son behind!]
Our combined powers are without peer! I feel so hyped up that I'm ready to launch into a training session immediately!!
[Death is, unfortunately, an ever-present threat in Casey's life, though far less so these days, thankfully. But it's only made him want to make every single day count, and be the best it could possibly be. There's no way he'll not be grateful for each opportunity that crosses his path to get to know his family- a second time.
And oh no, she said the magic word.]
Are you really gonna train? Can we do it together?
[Training with Mom! It's been over a decade! He can't not ask.]
Of course! I would never false declare a training session! [Her excitement builds with each sentence.] And we absolutely can! What better way to further cement this bond of ours through some training together?
