Because nostalgia.

[wantstohelp]

Don't worry about it, mun. I know you've had a lot going on lately. And hey, it's nice to remembered.

What happened to me... happened, and there's no changing it out there in what you call the "real world." But just look at all the great things my brother and my friends accomplished. If I played some small part in that, and gave Hiro a little push... well, I did something really meaningful in my life. I think I made a difference.

It's not like I'm not going to see them again. They're all around here somewhere, so this place might not be all bad.

Maybe just try to stay away from all those 'interesting' games I keep hearing about, okay? I know you're not really into them either.

We can't change it, but that doesn't mean we don't still miss you sometimes.

[Heeeey bro. Have a sad little smile.]

[wantstohelp]

[Have a sad little smile back, because deep down he still blames himself for leaving his brother like that. But Tadashi smiles bigger, reaching out to ruffle Hiro's hair affectionately.]

Well I'm here now, so it looks like you can't get rid of me that easily, little brother.

[bigdamnhiro]

[He laughs, ducking his head.]

I'm okay with that. [The smile turns into something more like a sly grin.] Just don't expect me to behave all the time. Reformed bot fighter or not, somebody's gotta keep you on your toes, dude.

...oh, man, you are not aware of the whole 'multiple worlds' thing, are you? [This is Hiro, but older, four inches taller and an unhealthy amount thinner, with armor modified to be a one-person army and mixed emotions on his face. It's always good to see Tadashi getting a second chance through a mun - that's what his brother deserves. But someone has to break it to him things didn't go well in every universe.

Still,] Wait, how can you be here 'because nostalgia'? We're not old enough to be nostalgic to anybody. Except maybe Aunt Cass, but I haven't seen her around here lately...
