"Mr. Charles..." Lily raised her head, aggrieved, looking at the Captain before her. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
She had finally become a true human, something she had dreamed of for years. She should have been happy, but the current situation filled her heart with a powerful sense of unease.
Smiling, Charles helped Lily up from the ground and gently stroked her fluffy head.
"Lily, you always worried that your parents in the other plane would reject you. Now that you've turned back into a human, you can go back to them."
"Over the years, you and your mice have helped me quite a lot. To be honest, joining me on adventures at sea was too much to ask of you at your age. I could have made you leave the ship earlier, but I didn't. I owe you for that."
"Luckily, you achieved your goal for boarding the ship, and now I can repay the favor I owe you. I've prepared a ship for your journey home; you can board at any time."
