[Gerard lets out a gleeful squawk when he sees Franciscus, and Franciscus lets out a cry of happiness in return, wrapping his arms around the Archeops and stroking his feathers.]

Gerard, I'm so glad to see you! It must have been hard, right, being all alone and not knowing what happened...but I bet Osomatsu's been taking good care of you, right? It's okay, Dad's here.

[Gerard nudges Franciscus, now letting out a chirp of confusion. Franciscus smiles sadly.]

...yeah. I'm...not a hundred percent back yet. You can tell, hm?
