A/N: I am absolutely sorry for the long awaited chapter! I've been extremely busy with college lately. Hope you guys enjoy!


- Back at the Workshop -

Vulcan visits his father's and grandfather's grave, giving his respects to them.

Opening up two sodas, he places them down next to the grave.

Vulcan: Here, granddad, pop, I've brought your favorite sodas. They're opened too so you don't have to worry about getting sprayed. With the two of you gone, I've got three times as much work to do. Luckily, you didn't raise a slacker, so I'm making it work.

"Once I've set my mind, there's not much I can do. Also, I've got some good people helping me. My new family."

Vulcan shows a photo of Yu and Lisa to his father and grandfather.

Vulcan: See?

He puts away the photo as he smiles back at the grave.

Vulcan: Well, I've got to get going now. It was nice talking to both of ya.

He walks towards the workshop.

- Back in the Workshop -

Vulcan finishes up playing the drums as Yū runs up to him.

Vulcan: Woo. That was exhilarating!

Vulcan sighs.

Yū shows his prototype to Vulcan.

Yū: Hey Vulcan, you mind looking at my prototype?

Vulcan examines the device and compliments Yū.

Vulcan: Whoa, nice. You've put this together pretty well.

Yū: Thanks for saying so.

Vulcan: Well, let's test it.

Yū: How so?

Vulcan throws down the prototype as it smashes to pieces.

Yū: NO!! WHY?!

Vulcan: Sorry kid, it was just too fragile!

Yū: What?! Everything is too fragile if you smash it that hard!

Vulcan: No, not true, there are certain things that are too fragile to break, things that people depend on.

Yū pouts as he hugs his prototype.

Yū: Yeah, Like what?

Vulcan: Like boats, bridges. If they broke at random, people would die. Then there's Amaterasu, an everlasting power source that never stops and never breaks down, because if it would ever did, it would be an empire wide disaster.

Lisa makes a little noise by hitting the pan and spatula together.

Lisa: Hey Yū and Vul! Food's ready!

Both Vulcan and Yū walk into the kitchen as food was on the table.

Vulcan was completely impressed by Lisa's cooking and decorating as he compliments Lisa as well.

Vulcan: Wow Lisa! Speaking of things too precious to break!

Lisa: They're just rice omelets! Tear in to them!

Yū: Thanks for the food!

Lisa: "All things must pass." They say that anything with form will fall apart someday.
