Hello and welcome back! In the previous chapter, Aria mostly spent time with Bluebell to raise their relationship. Later in the evening, the family paid Lillith a visit. For those who forgot about Lilith, she's Aria and Mandy's little sister. I don't wanna spoil this chapter too much, but my Simself, who lives in the save, decided that she wanted some attention xD Yee, let's start the chapter! (Seren) "Well well, look at that. My son, you're growing up way too fast." (Theo) "Dad, I'm just washing the dishes..." (Aria) "I think it's great that he does some chores. He's a great kid." (Seren) "You're saying that because you don't want to do them anymore, right?" (Aria) "... N... No...? Anyways, I'll be in my farm today. Do you have to work?" (Seren) "Yeah, I'll be heading out soon too." Crops still taking forever to grow... (Mandy) "Aria!" Guess the crops will have to wait. (Mandy) "Did you check your phone yet?" (Aria) "No, why?" (Mandy) "You're not gonna like this..." (Aria) "No... Dad... I... We... We gotta visit papa!" (Mandy) "Lillith just texted me, she's already on her way..." The three sisters soon arrived at the Ridley Retirement Home, but Mandy almost immediately walked away, to the water. (Mandy) "I'm sorry, I don't think I can do this yet... Let papa know I love him, and I'm here for him..." (Lillith) "Oh, poor Mandy... I'll go after her for a while. You go inside." (Aria) "Sure. See you soon, okay?" Aria went inside alone and quickly glanced at the urn on the ground before going further. (Aria) "Papa, we just heard the news... I'm so sorry..." (Emerson) "We knew this would happen one day, Aria. It's difficult, yes, but I know that I can count on my three beloved daughters. Where are Mandy and Lilith?" (Aria) "Mandy couldn't come inside yet, Lilith went after her and told me to already come inside..." (Emerson) "You and your sisters are really strong. Don't forget that." (Aria) "I think you might be even stronger than us... How are you holding yourself up like this?" (Emerson) "I'm staying strong for Christopher. He would've wanted it that way." (Aria) "I know..." (Emerson) "Don't worry about me too much, okay? It's not only a difficult time for me, but also for you, Lilith, Mandy, ... Your dad is here, in our hearts." (Christopher) "Except that I'm right here!" (Aria) "Huh?!" (Emerson) "Aria, what's wrong?" (Aria) "Da--" (Christopher) "Don't tell him, Aria. He doesn't see me." (Aria) "Ehh... Lillith, hi!" Lilith popped up right on time for Aria to change her sentence. (Lillith) "I don't feel really well, I'm sorry... Can I lay down somewhere?" (Emerson) "Oh, Lillith... Come, we'll go upstairs for a while. Aria, is that okay for you?" (Aria) "Sure." Lillith already went up, Emerson follows after her. (Aria) "Dad! How is this possible?" (Christopher) "We're both Ridley heirs, did you forget about that already? We're connected." (Aria) "What happened?" (Christopher) "I just died from old age, nothing special. It was just my time to leave." (Aria) "But you're not even that old..." (Christopher) "Some people don't make it that old, little one. I must've been unlucky to be one of those." (Aria) "Oh, dad..." (Christopher) "It's okay! I've lived my life to the fullest. I've had a good life. A good husband, three amazing daughters, I wouldn't have it any other way. Well... Maybe I would've changed my childhood, but that's another story. Hey, cheer up." (Aria) "I'm just going to miss you..." (Christopher) "And I'll miss you too, but remember that down there, I'll always be in your heart. Just like papa told you." (Christopher) "I need to go back, my time is running out here. I'm happy I got to talk to you, Aria. You're doing so great, and I'll always watch over you." (Aria) "Thanks, dad... I love you." (Christopher) "And I love you too! I assume you'll take care of my gravestone, right? Have you ever been to the graveyard? Now is the time! Aria, this is not a farewell, okay? This is a 'see you soon!'." Christopher left the world, and so Aria gathered all the energy she still had left to take the urn to the graveyard. Once there, she let out a big sigh. (Skeilah) "It's rough, isn't it?" (Aria) "Wait, why does your voice sound so familiar?" (Skeilah) "Cause my voice IS familiar. I'm the one y'all call 'The Watcher'." (Aria) "Well heavens... My dad dies and suddenly the Watcher decides to pop up right in front of me..." (Skeilah) "Well, this visit was kind of unplanned, but I'm glad I'm here right now." (Aria) "And why is that?" (Skeilah) "To mentally support my current heir, of course!" (Aria) "Ah, right... You've been here since the very beginning, right? Which generation am I again?" (Skeilah) "You're 5." (Aria) "How do you do this anyways, living for so long? What are you, a god?" (Skeilah) "You could say that, but I prefer 'the Watcher'. Also, I'm typing this conversation out right as we speak. I should go back to my own world soon." (Aria) "I really don't want to deal with this right now..." (Skeilah) "Just so you know, Oliver is about to pop up soon!" (Aria) "Oliver?" Oh yes, Oliver Ridley, your Great-Grandad! (Aria) "I'm also not really in the mood to meet some old family-member... I barely had enough energy for this graveyard..." Somewhere in the background, I could hear Oliver and his guitar. He's playing a sad song, it's getting really emotional in here. (Aria) "Dad..." Suddenly I realised myself that Christopher had a twin brother. Aria immediately went over to Windenburg, where Robin lives with his family. Luckily he's still alive. Phew. (Aria) "I'm sorry for your loss, uncle Robin." (Robin) "Oh Aria, I think you're in as much pain as I am. My condolences for you and your family too." While Aria and Robin were talking to each other, this fire got my attention. Robin's wife and kids all ran outside and just stood there, panicked. Even the fire fighter got a bit scared. This is one hilarious family. (Aria) "Thanks for coming over so quickly!" (Fire fighter) "Thanks for calling, miss!" It was time to head home again, back to more sad faces. What about all the friends you two made at school today? (Lucy) "Well, that was nice, but still, we miss our granddad..." For those who forgot, the so-called 'first friends' of the kids always become pretty important in this Legacy. The following three kids just nominated themselves to become the spouse of the next heir. Theo of course doesn't know about this yet, but as the story goes on, one of these three will come forward more and more. The same goes for Lucy of course. Looks like she has a little bit more options to choose from. :P (Lucy) "I'm done with my homework so I'm going to bed..." (Theo) "I'm almost done too." The kids went to bed, and Aria seems to do the same. All this sadness makes me sad too. (Seren) "Hey, Aria." (Aria) "Yeah?" (Seren) "Come over here for a second." (Seren) "You know that I'm here for you, right?" (Aria) "Yes, I know. This is just a lot harder than I thought it would be..." (Seren) "Come here. I love you. A lot." (Aria) "I love you too." (Seren) "I hope I can cheer you up just a little bit." (Aria) "You, always." (Seren) "Come on, lets get in bed. You must be exhausted." Goodnight!
