[One day in Unova, the sky opened up.

And dropped out a muppet of a man in tattered conductor's clothing. He hits the ground amid a crowd and instantly a lot is going on. Some people rushing to help him up, to check for injuries. Some calling the police. Some recording the rip in the sky.

And others recording the man, tweeting out that amazing thing that had just occurred.

holy shit a guy fell out the sky

ITS RAINING MEN?! HALLELUJAH???

I can't believe my theory that Ingo was buried in a landfill has been proven wrong like this #FindIngo #FoundIngo???

. . . this is true.

Remember that you can tell them to be more gentle.

But what if I want them to be harsh.

Then you can tell them they may be less gentle.

You may not enjoy a less gentle touch.

You do not know that.

[ yes he does. ]

Then I'll schedule us identical sessions.

[ cool and I'll tell them then and there to chill. ]

Wonderful.

It'll be good for you.

[ He pauses, staring into Ingo's closet. ]

. . . a lot of it will. I know I have been . . .

[ "off." ]

Stressed.

And harsh.

The world beckoned it.

. . . probably.

We've both changed.

Am I still your adorable younger brother?

Of course.

You ran to me and held me and you've protected me. You never gave up on me.

You're the same Emmet I've always loved and adored.

Am I still your admirable older brother?

Always. My strong, reliable big brother with no brain damage — that is you.

..........do you secretly think my brain has been damaged and that is why it concerns you so much?

I admit that at times I can be a bit forgetful but it has been several years.

[eases himself to sit on his bed, a bit tired of standing still]

Of course I don't. I hate it whenever someone tries to bring it up.

[ steps over to sit down next to him. ]

[light cane whack]

You're the one who brought it up this time.

We've both changed but we are also still the same. You have been hurt and changed by the world in my absence, Emmet.

That does not make you bad or weak or a pitiful thing.

Just like my body is healing, you can heal as well. And my leg may...never be the same. And you may never be the same either.

But the you who was here waiting for me after my long absence is every bit as worthy of my love and attention as the one I left behind.

[ He stares over at Ingo quietly for a long moment before leaning in to hug him tightly. ]

[holds so tight]

I'm not disappointed in what I've returned to.

As long as you are not disappointed.

I'm not.

Have you been disappointed in me?

Never.
