Hal quickly put his hands on her shoulders.

"Easy, easy there." he said.

"Calm down, you need to rest, still." he told her.

"And Cain is with his parents." he then said. "He's being looked after and tended to." he continued.

"From what I've heard, he's all right, no need to worry." he then assured her.

"No, sweetie." Hal replied.

"This didn't happen because of your wish." he told her.

"This was merely just an unhappy coincidence." he went on.

"...if I were to wager a guess, this was originally just supposed to happen to Cain." he then said. "But you got dragged into it because of what you were at the time." he guessed further.

"But this isn't your fault." he then assured her.

"Please. Don't blame yourself, of the wish."

"....I don't know." Hal admitted.

"He SHOULDN'T, but I don't know how he thinks." he sighed.

"Do you want him brought in here?" he asked. "So you can talk to him about this?" he asked further.

"Or do you think you could even handle that?" he then inquired.

For all he know, it could be too much stress for her right now.

Hal just sighed.

"I see." he said.

"Very well." he told her.

"And when can you go home?" he asked, before shaking his head slightly.

"I don't know." he said.

"Let's find out." he told her, before calling Angela into the room.

"Angela, when can Lunet come home?" he asked the medic.

Hal just nodded at Angela.

"All right." he said.

"Lunet, you heard that?" he asked his daughter.

Lunet nodded in response.

"I can leave early for the day if you want to go home right now." he told her.

"Just say the word, and we'll be off."

"Yes. We can." Hal replied.

With that, he pulled Lunet into his arms, and looked at Angela.

"Thank you, Angela." he said to her.

The two then nodded at each other, before he and Lunet disappeared from where they were, appearing in Lunet's room at their home.

"All right, we're here." he told her.

"Safe at home."

"Of course, sweetie." Hal replied.

"I cannot guarantee that I can grant it, some things are even out my MY power, but I'll grant whatever I can within the limits of my power." he assured her.

"What is it?" he asked.

"What do you wish, dear?"

"................." Hal was silent for a moment, before smiling softly.

"You really are a wonderful girl." he told her.

"Don't let anyone call you otherwise." he said.

He then leaned in and took her by the hand.

"Tell you what. Let's grant it together." he suggested.

"We'll count to three, snap our fingers, and then see what the wish does."

"Hm." Hal muttered, before taking her hand and checking, concentrating on it.

"....you're nearly out." he told her.

"Which is to say, it IS running out." he clarified.

"I'll use what little you have left the help me, then." he said further, before snapping his fingers.

As he did, she felt the last of something drain from her body, and she felt VERY tired once more. But also, she felt more like... herself... once more.

"Done." he said.

"I can't guarantee how it'll work, or if it'll work at all, but we'll see."

"You're a sweet girl." Hal told her, leaning in and kissing her forehead.

"We'll see." he then repeated.

"Anyway, what do you want to do now?" he asked.

"Is there anything you want right now, or would you prefer to just sleep?" he asked further.

"I can tell you're drained and tired."
