"That's....hitting it a little close to home, don'tcha think? Honestly I don't-...it's kind of a difficult question. I have a pretty vivid idea of how delicate the timestream is. I'm afraid of screwing things up so badly that something even worse happens than just them dying. But...I would want to see them again. If I could go back in time, just to see them again...I would."



"Like Smash said, I'm also worried about messing up the timeline. But I...I miss them so much, I don't think I could easily pass up that chance if it ever came by. Life was so much harder when they passed on. I'll never forget how much pressure Smash was put through to care for us both, or how painful it was every day without them..."



"On the plus side, we only really got out there and became the people we are now because our parents died. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be as great a fighter as I am now, I wouldn't have met all the friends we made, or be a leader to them all. Pearl wouldn't have Sandy, and I...I don't think I'd have ever met Luna. Don't get me wrong, I miss Mom and Dad to death, but would I be willing to risk changing all of that to bring them back from it? That's the real question here."



"I'm conflicted as well. I wouldn't give up Sandy for the world. But I feel just as strongly about my parents. I honestly don't know what I would do. I just...don't know..."



"...If you ask me, I don't think Mom or Dad would want us to throw anything away for the sake of bringing them back. Even if they technically wouldn't know about it, considering we're rewriting history here, I can't imagine how guilty they'd feel about it. Their own daughter gave up ever meeting her friends and her daughter to bring them back, while their son had a whole family ret-conned for it. I know if I were them, I wouldn't be too happy about that. So in the end, I'm going to have to say no; I would not bring them back to life. There's too much at risk, even for them. Although...there are some things I would change, if I ever had the chance...but that's another story."
