Even before saying anything, Ahnasha had already begun to tear up. The past day had been fraught with intense, often opposing emotions, and now, sadness was taking its turn. She had gone nine years without so much as thinking about seeing her family again, but now, she was having a hard time letting go. They had been an integral part of the first sixteen years of her life, after all, and even though her opinion had turned against them before she left, she could not say she did not love them. 

"Mother, father, brother. I...I don't even know what to say. I didn't know what to expect when I came back here. I thought you might be angry, or even denounce me, and I would have deserved it. But...I am glad I came back. I regret everything I did, and I hope to never let go of you again. Even if I can't be here, we will keep in contact. As soon as we're back in Bruma, we'll send a letter letting you know where to send the response. I love you, and I promise I will do whatever I can to come back here and visit someday."

"Wherever in Tamriel you are, we will always be with you. At night, whenever you look up at the twin moons, know that we will be looking at them as well, and we will never be apart." S'nashi answered, immediately stepping forward to give her daughter a hug. Gwindir and Vasiq quickly joined in, and for a silent few moments, they all embraced one another. When they all finally separated, no one found any words that would be more appropriate for their final farewell. 

As Ahnasha left the store alongside Fendros and Rhazii, she closed her eyes and let out a deep, shuddering breath. Despite the fact that a wound from her past had been healed, the reunion with her family had been bittersweet. She was still living a lie, and she hoped those lies would not come back to haunt her.
