I'll always be grateful to them. For raising you, for giving you the life Lara and I could never have provided, however much we wanted to. [You were never unwanted, Kal. Jor doubts there was ever a child born on Krypton who was loved by their parents more.] One day, I hope to thank them in person.

[There's a moment, a pause, where Jor forgets that they aren't on Krypton and that there's nothing stopping him, no social norms preventing him from reaching out and clasping Kal's hand between both of his. Which is exactly what he does, squeezing tightly, testing to make sure he's real.]

[In the same moment, Jor releases the breath he didn't realize he was holding.] I still can't quite believe we're meeting at last. [And smiles.] You're really here.
