Passing through the streets and all those houses, Arthur begins to have a nostalgic moment in his head, so recently. However, for him it was like years away from that place.

-So, are you happy to have come back? (Logan)

-Huh? Of course, it's good to see you, the city and everything. (Arthur)

-You will see, now everything will be simpler from now on. So don't worry. (Logan)

What are you talking about? (Arthur)

Arriving at his house Arthur opens the door and is surprised by the reception of his friends.

-WELCOME BACK!! (friends)

-Hehe, we wanted to prepare a surprise for you so you wouldn't be sad. (Leon)

-Ahhh...? (Arthur)

Arthur looks to every corner of his house as if looking for something.

-Waiting for someone? (friend 1)

His friend looks at him with a look of who knew who he was looking for.

-No, no, no... I'm just looking... at the furniture, you know. (Arthur)

-She won't come if that's what you're asking. (Leon)

-I didn't say I was waiting for Angelica! (Arthur)

-But who said her name here? I just said the person I was looking for wasn't here. (Leon)

-I knew, so he was really waiting for her. (friend 2)

-Yes. (friend 3)

-Was not! (Arthur)

Everyone looks at Arthur angrily and starts to laugh. Arthur, realizing a nostalgic air of the time he was with them, starts to laugh along.

-Hehehe, I miss you guys. (Arthur)

-We say the same. Good to see you again. (Leon)

-Well, now that you've had your reunion, how about everyone sit at the table so we can eat? (Logan)

At the living room table, everyone was sitting with smiles on their faces, laughing at the silly things they said, while enjoying the food that was being served. Arthur had completely forgotten what he had witnessed a few days ago.

-Man, this is delicious, uncle. (friend 2)

-Thanks, I tried very hard so that Arthur had a great meal after so long. (Logan)

-Speaking of which, how was the food there in the army? (Leon)

-Well, it was canned food or prepared food. They are practical foods that are easy to consume. (Arthur)

-So it's good to be able to eat my food again, right son? (Logan)

-Ehhhhh, it's really good to be able to eat your food again. (Arthur)

-Glad you left the army, now you can enjoy your father's food every day. (friend 3)

Upon hearing that Arthur looks at his friend with a confused look.

-What did you say? (Arthur)

-What, did I say something wrong? (friend 3)

Arthur's friend starts looking to other friends to know what he had done wrong, because he didn't know what he had said to make him angry.

-You said I left the army! (Arthur)

Arthur looks indignantly at the rest of the table and gets up.

-What do you mean I got out of the army?! (Arthur)

Logan gets up and goes to Arthur to try to control him.

-Arthur calm down. (Logan)

-Calm me down?! Now I understood why you guys kept saying those weird things. (Arthur)

-Arthur we didn't want you to feel bad about running away from the war, so we made this party to try to cheer you up. (Logan)

-I DIDN'T RUN AWAY!!! (Arthur)

Arthur responds angrily looking at his father. Hearing his son respond that way Logan starts to feel bad, he holds himself to try not to cry. After realizing what Arthur had done, he feels bad for his father and feels guilty.

-Arthur, we didn't want to leave you like this. Turns out we got a call telling us you were coming home and we figured that out. (Leon)

Arthur takes a deep breath and starts to calm down, he sits down again putting one of his hands on his head showing that he was thinking a bit. Everyone starts looking at each other embarrassed while Arthur doesn't respond until he suddenly gets up again.

-I'll walk around town a bit. (Arthur)

-Arthur spec... (Logan)

-No!... (Arthur)

Arthur controls himself not to start yelling at his father again.

-Don't follow me dad, I need to think a little alone. (Arthur)

Arthur walks out the door leaving his friends alone and his father with a worried heart, not knowing what was going on in his head. Starting to walk down the street, Arthur kept thinking about the situation he was in until he met someone. That person was Angelica, she was waiting in front of her with a smile on her face.

-How long, it is not? (Angelica)
