Back at Aunt May's house, the Spider-Gang (minus Miles) regroups inside after their fight.

Noir: "This dimension's villains are weird."

Haedn: "Dude, my dimension doesn't even have any of this. I'm still getting used to it."

Peter: "Don't worry. Everyone will get back to their own home by tonight. Ain't that right, Miles?"

No answer from Miles.

Peter: "Miles?"

Gwen: "He isn't here."

Noir: "Where could he have gone?"

Haedn goes to look around the house, only to remember that he had Charlotte go for the Goober earlier. She hadn't returned to him yet. Where was she?

Haedn: "Hey, guys? Have you seen Charlie?"

Haedn gets a collection of "No"s from the Spiders, making him grow a bit concerned until he stops and looks down.

"No..."

Peni: "Haedn? What's wro--... oh. Oh no..."

Haedn looked down at the ground, seeing the crushed body of Charlotte lying there. He falls to his knees and takes off his mask, revealing tears starting to threaten to spill.

"Charlie..."

Peter: "Kid... I know how much she meant to you. I'm sorry..."

Haedn: "... I need to get some air."

Peter: "What?"

Haedn stands up and puts his mask back on.

"I said I need some air. I'll be back."

And with that, Haedn ran out of the house and web-swung away. Everyone looks on before Peni speaks.

"I'm gonna go talk to him. Come on, SP//DR!"

Peni and her robot run out of the house, going after Haedn.

Aunt May: "So... who wants to help me clean?"

Later, Haedn is seen at the billboard he crashed into when he first arrived in Miles' universe. He had his mask off and hood down, looking over the city streets as people below walk on as if their world wasn't in danger of being destroyed. Oh, how he missed his own home... his family.

His Spider-Sense goes off and he looks behind him to see Peni.

Peni: "Hi, Haedn."

Haedn: "Hi, Peni."

Haedn turned back to look forward, making Peni sigh as she jumps up to sit next to Haedn.

Peni: "So... how are you feeling?"

Haedn: "Best as I can right now."

Peni: "I'm really sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what you're feeling. SP//DR is basically family to me. If he died..."

Peni trailed off. She had no idea what she would do if SP//DR died. It was the only thing she had left of her father.

Haedn: "He won't die, because you're there for him. You can protect him. Me? I can't protect anybody."

Peni: "Don't say that! Of course you can."

Haedn: "But how? My entire life, I've been the one protected. My sister has always been the one to make sure I don't screw up and to make sure I'm okay."
