Seal (1)

After letting them continue for a bit, I gave a cough to cut them off.

I knew that letting them go any longer would be bad for me, so I should stop them while I still could.

After that cough, I said, "Grandpa, grandma, it really has been a long time."

The two of them looked at me with smiles on their faces as they nodded in response.

It really had been a long time since we had met since they lived far away by normal human standards.

So when I thought that my parents were still normal people, we had only gone to see them around once a year.

It had been about a year since we last saw them now that I thought about it.

We should have gone to see them during the next school holiday, but now we were seeing each other even sooner.

The two of them stood up from their seats and raised their arms out towards me with smiles on their faces.
