Ken's eyes widened as a warm yet better sensation washed over him.
"Why? What have I done to deserve such a gift? You've already given me so much…" he asked, his voice trailing off.
Mika didn't answer right away. She hovered over Kenji, warm light falling from the apparition of a dove. Once she was satisfied, Mika flapped her wings and appeared in front of Ken once more.
"Life is the most precious when spent with loved ones… You taught me that Ken." The dove's beak opened, producing Mika's voice. This was the first time he'd heard her voice with his ears and not inside his mind.
It sounded a little foreign, but he could feel the emotion contained within it.
"What better way to repay you than ensuring your children will live long and healthy lives?" She asked wistfully.
Ken was speechless, not knowing how to respond. The only thing that he managed to say was thank you, albeit quietly.
"It is time that we part ways Ken…" Mika spoke, reluctance in her tone.
