This mother-and-son reunion scene lasted five minutes.

Arthur kept telling Atlanna how much he had missed her. Atlanna simply listened quietly, offering comfort now and then, letting Arthur feel the long-lost warmth of a mother's love.

After quite a while, Arthur finally calmed down. He carelessly wiped his face with his sleeve and scratched his head awkwardly. "Sorry, Mom. I got so caught up talking about myself that I forgot about you. Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Atlanna's expression stiffened slightly. "My child, just hearing you speak has already made me very happy. We can save everything else for later."

She had already poured out, in one breath, everything she had spent over twenty years wanting to say to her son—to Du Mu.

Having her repeat it all now felt unspeakably awkward.

Fortunately, Arthur had always been rather thick-skinned and failed to notice anything strange. He only thought that maternal love was truly great, and felt another surge of emotion.

"This isn't a place to talk. Come with me."

Atlanna waved them over, then turned and led the three deeper into the island.
