After meeting again, Marcus and Lucia held hands and sat side by side for a while.
Lucia rested her head on Marcus' shoulder.
Then they gradually became more affectionate, mostly on Lucia's initiative, but Marcus still didn't take off his mask.
"I know you will have scars...Your face maybe even completely different. "
"But I still love you. Trust me Mark" Lucia said whispering in his ear.
"I love you "Lucia said as she touched the mask and slowly pulled it off his face.

The family was reunited, complete, this time even Marcus was there in a family reunion.
Edsson and Lamber were very happy to see him. Edsson, normally tough, cried tears of joy for the first time in a long time.

"I missed you too, Dad." Marcus said as he hugged his father.
