[Roy Sato MustangHijikata (FlameAlchemistSugarDemon)]

*After the informative and comforting speeches, Roy sat with little brother Shu to explain things to him that he might not have understood.* @shukurenai

[Tamaki HayashiSakata 💚 TerribleTornadoSucreSpiritus]

*Tamaki takes mental notes of the speeches, she notices that her husband Saitama is focused on what was being said. They both applauded at the end of the speeches feeling light hearted and as if a lot of their feelings had been acknowledged. They would go forward with these words in mind.* @one-punchman

[Yukio Ginpachi WiseAzureFlameSugarDemon OkumuraSakata]

*Yukio and Alfonsina sat watching their families, listening to the speeches, eating and drinking, enjoying each other’s company and within this comfort Yukio noticed his mother had practically issued a challenge. He knew how difficult that would be but he also trusted everyone listening would at least meditate on those words. It’s true dynamics had changed but their parents would still be around. And those who caused trouble due to their nature in the past had reason to be here. Perhaps those reasons would be tiny miracles, just like Solana and Zarina had proven to be for Queen Hild. So he made sure to make mental not to even watch and see if his uncle Satan, the one that tried to destroy their family for years and see if Zehellenia would be his miracle of sorts. He swirled his drink as he thought about it and almost let out laugh but he would be patient and do as his mother asked.* @candycandyali

[Soji Azuma LilacSugarDemon Okita Godai]

*Although still on patrol, they made sure to make in in time for the important speeches that Gin and Helena had given. They took those words and made mental notes about themselves and the meaning of the speeches. They could discuss these after their patrol but their souls felt lighter and they felt stronger after hearing both their speeches.* @sexyblueabyss @mechapilot

[Rintoki BlueFlameSugarDemon OkumuraSakata]

@pinkflamesoul *Rintoki and Lala sat watching all the family that had gathered and feeling excited about having everyone get together. He cheered and whistled when his father Gin, finished his speech and equally made lots of noise for his mother when she was done. But he had taken in what she said. He understood and accepted what she was saying, he still would kick Satan’s ass if he had a chance but he would definitely take into consideration his lovely cousin Zehellenia and his auntie LuzHela before jumping in like he normally would. He had to consider the situation before doing anything that might alter the family dynamics. He was proud of his parents, how clearly they could think and how they rose to their rightful places, he had to strive to be more like them.* Go got it mom and dad! I’ve got your backs haha

[NightSyn CrimsonFlameSugarDemon OkumuraSakata]

*Proud of his mother and father for obtaining their true status and accepting it as well. Night was relieved they had reconfirmed that they would still be around. To him, they were his pillars and would truly feel a strong emptiness if they weren’t around because of their duties and yet, all their lives their parents prepared them to fend for themselves and protect others but he would never easily part with them. He listened to their speeches, looked around at the rest of the family for reactions, especially Leo’s. He applauded and cheered for them when they ended their speeches, even whistling to the point that Haru had to cover his mouth, and everyone laughted. The speeches they gave where loaded with things to consider and think about but the event was so much fun especially since they could head to the club afterwards and continue to celebrate. He had to sit for a moment and somewhat memorize what was said, for himself. so that he could reflect on it when he was on his own. For now, he would enjoy the company around him to the fullest.* @harumiya

[Noloty Kagerou PoisonSugarDemon Maruchie Sakata]

Noloty stood quietly beneath the soft glow of lantern light, Helena’s words piercing her heart like a melody she had long forgotten. They awakened memories buried deep—moments that flickered through her mind like a reel of shifting stars.

She saw St. Michael’s Church in the Old World. The cries. The fire. The moment she herself had stepped forward, offering her life so Helena and her children could live. She remembered the cold sting of sacrifice, the silence of death, the trembling of rebirth. And then came the trials, the errors, the endless cycle of loss and reunion.

More memories followed—the darker truths that had once weighed her down. That she had been the one to banish not only Gintoki, but her own husband Kin, and Satan as well. That in rebellion, she had dared to clone the Messiah, an act of defiance against her father, The Almighty. These revelations had made her believe she was the clan’s added burden, the one who brought more baggage onto their shoulders when they already carried so much.

But tonight, Helena’s voice had cracked something open. Noloty no longer saw those choices only as stains. They were also seeds. Seeds of growth. Of understanding. Of learning to feel something beyond her own otherworldly rage. She had learned how to trust, and how to be trusted. How to embrace love in its purest form—love for her husband, her daughters, her friends, her parents despite the jagged wounds between them, and love for her clan. And, at last, love for herself.

The weight of it all broke her, but not in despair. Tears spilled freely as she let the past finally loosen its hold. She cried for the pain, the mistakes, the grief—and for the freedom that came with acceptance. With each tear she cut another cord that bound her, releasing what no longer served her.

Then came Kin’s embrace. His warmth steadied her trembling frame, anchoring her to the present. She leaned into him, her sobs easing, her spirit softening. In his arms, the storm within her quieted, and her eyes lifted once more to her clan.

She said nothing at first, but her silence spoke volumes. In it was a vow: that she would no longer see herself as their burden, but as their proof of survival. That she would walk forward unshackled, whole, and endlessly devoted. Helena’s words would remain etched within her heart—not just as comfort, but as truth she would carry into every step of her future. @goldsugardemonkin

[Hellcat (Trixie WalkerHellstorm) / FelineFataleSugarSpirit]

*Noting how awe-inspiring the speeches and gathering was, she could still feel the words spoken making her feel so many emotions. She definitely felt these words were meant to uplift the spirit but also remind everyone that their own thoughts and feelings were taken into account and respected. She would smile as she heard comments, encouragement, laughter and whistling. There was nothing more comforting than being home with the clan.*

[Teletha Ginger (SkyGreyFlameSugarDemon) TestarossaOkumuraSakata d'Elric]

*The meeting at the backyard of the family estate was epic. It gave everyone much to contemplate on but also a form of moving forward. The speeches were encouraging and reminding everyont to be mindful. Sometimes with life moving so fast there wasn’t a moment to think on these. She would look over at her big bro Leo and then at her cousins Zehellenia, Solana and Zarina. For their sakes, the would be very carful with their actions especially with two special guests around. But that didn’t mean letting them run wild nor becoming best buds with them, simply allowing them some space to take in what everyone else was already privvy too, some freedom and more fun experiences with sprinkles of a relationship. Whether they would change or not, Tessa sure wasn’t going to hold her breathe on that one. She noticed her auntie Noloty a bit distraught but smiled tenderly at her. She and Kin had also come a very long way and had changed for the better in so many ways. Family depended on them vastly. So maybe there were something to what her parents were saying. She would look at Ed and discuss things with him. He was in agreement, but not so much on Satan but acknowledged he would be respectful as well.* @alchemistbrothers

[Leonardo Gintora TestarossaOkumuraSakata (ArgentoFlameSugarDemon)]

Sitting in the backyard were Helena and Gintoki’s son Leo and his wife Ren with their children and all their descendants attentively listening and understanding the meaning of the words being spoken to them.

Leo, eldest biological son of Gintoki and Helena was old enough to remember being saved by his Auntie Noloty when his mother Helena was being hunted and they hid in Saint Micheal’s Church.

He came a long way since then, and a lot had happened in between that time and the time he settled in with his full family again. He is grateful that his siblings and his parents didn’t give up on him when he had taken to a darker path in his life leaving many lives destroyed that he knew he could never make up for.

He felt that he had progressed until his son got hurt during a battle that happened in the past as Satan unleashed his minion and they had to fight for to protect and survive.

Leo had thoughts of revenge in times when he wasn’t too busy. He hated seeing Satan and Queen Hild and other malevolent forces walking around like nothing had happened. He knew he could easily crush and torture them, especially since he possesses the blood of his parents flowing through his veins. But his parents taught him not to use his powers irresponsibly and especially not for revenge but to protect.

He had been conflicted for a while now, even wondering if his parents understood. Finally, their speeches gave him some form of acknowledgement. His mind began to feel less burdened. They knew, they understood, and they addressed it.

Their words also parted the dark clouds in his mind as he realized, yes, even though this happened, there are family ties, like a spiders web, reaching out everywhere. He loves his rebellious and fiesty cousin Zehellenia and he knew that some kind of relationship was forming between her and Satan although Zehellenia always said she hated Satan. A complex relationship was there he shouldn’t interfere in.

And then there was his auntie Noloty. He had forgiven her and loved her dearly. He wouldn’t want to distress her about something that she had not control over. And then there were his cute cousins Solana and Zarina, his mother told him they were two little miracles and that their birth and the Gentoka regaining his sight in one was was mean to be a path towards healing.

But it was difficult for him to wrap his mind around it at times, that someone who hurt his first-born son, would be allowed to be without any retribution.

Most of all, he had to chase those thoughts away for his son, Gentoka. A forgiving, kind natured young man who seemed to be setting an example for them all. Leo needed to find his own strength to keep forging forward and stop letting a past, that happened during battle, cloud his mind. His parents worked hard to teach mold him into an intelligent, strong, thoughtful, protective and mature adult, they showed him how to forge a better future in this world, he needed to ground himself and not move backwards. As the father, of several children and keeping his descendants in mind, he had to be an example for them a role model and not set himself on a course for disaster.

@orchidfoxren

Ren is a graceful and bold kitsune spirit, is calm, sassy, and fiercely loyal — especially to her husband and family, she had been hurt and angry about the situation for a long time, she even entertained thoughts of revenge but Gin and Helena’s words along with Gentoka’s actions were enough to make her think again. She would be misleading her own children if she went on such a path. Besides, it was true, everyone was interwoven as family. She would probably never forgive Satan or Queen Hild and felt at ease that perhaps she didn’t even need to interact with them. She didn’t have to accept them, but she would allow them to be, especially since she would never want to hurt Zarina and Solana’s happiness and she didn’t want to taint their experience with the woman who is their grandmother. It was a bit sad to watch them having fun with someone who had hurt their son and barely showed an inch of regret but it was not her place to make that happen. And even if Queen Hild did regret it, it wouldn’t have changed Ren’s disdain for her. It would be difficult to do but She would meditate on Helena’s words, she realized this was the best way to peace, she prayed to The Almighty to give her peace of mind and guide her in the right direction, and not allow her to stray into thoughts that could only bring more pain.

[Gentoka Luciano MikiharaTestarossaSakata (MysticalSugarDemonFox)]

Sitting in the back with his brothers, he had to shush them a few times so he could listen to speeches and comments.

Gentoka very handsome, gentle and is devoted to his family, friends and the protection of innocents. During a battle against the demonic armies of Lord Amon and Queen Hild, he lost his eyesight but he has been able to train to learn the use of all his other senses which allow him to continue to protect himself and others. He’s humble and very compassionate and forgiving. He didn’t see the loss of his eyesight as a challenge to use his other senses and sharpen their skills He was deeply immersed in the speeches and loved the messages he were hearing.

Gentoka did something that would make everyone feel even more at ease he stood, smiled, brighting up the room and his fluffy nine tail seemed soft and filled with magical aura, he applauded and agreed.* I’m with you both on this Granddaddy Gin and Grandmommy Helena!
