Lincoln's new life

The girls meet Ema

It is in the Tokyo International Airport. Leni and Lucy are going down the escalator. Leni is carrying Lily. Both the sisters are very tired and groggy with bloodshot, crusty eyes and messed up hair, while Lily is energetic and wide awake. "Well, Lucy, welcome to Japan. I wish I could read Japanese." Leni said. "Nihongo ga rikai dekitara īnoni? Watashi wa anata ni nihongo o oshiemasu." (You wish you could understand Japanese? I will teach you Japanese.) Lucy said in Japanese. Leni had wide eyes now as she looked at her sister. "You understand Japanese?!" Leni asked shocked. Lucy nodded yes. "I've been studying for the past year now. Nobody knew until now. You are the only one." she said as they walked off the escalator. 

"Really? Why didn't you tell anyone?" Leni asked. Lucy just shrugged. "Well, we can talk about this later. Right now, let's just look for something to eat. I'm hungry." Leni said. "Same here." Lucy said. They then went to the food court and got some burgers. After that, they went looking for the exit. That's when they saw an old woman holding a sign that said, "Leni, Lucy, Lily". "That old lady is holding a sign with our names on it." Lucy said. "Do you think that's... Grandma Ema?" Leni said. "I think it is!" Lucy said. 

That's when they both cried out, "Grandma Ema!". The woman turned to them and smiled. The girls ran to their grandmother and hugged her. "How are you girls?" Ema said. "We're both happy, now that we are with you." Lucy said. "Let's go, come with me." Ema said as they walked out of the airport and into the parking lot. They then walked into her car. Leni sat in the front while Lucy sat in the back and Lily sat in a car seat. 

As they were driving, Ema was getting to know her granddaughters for a little bit. They were also discussing the plans and rules for living in Ema's house. "Yes, this is all very surprising. We never knew we were quarter Japanese. We never knew about you or Aunt Suziko. All I knew about Lincoln is that he wasn't our brother. I never knew who his mother was." Leni said. "Really, Rita never told you about me?" Ema said a little hurt. "No, we never knew about all of this until recently." Leni said. "She... never told you about any of this? She was... quiet?" Ema said a little sad. "Now that I think about it, if mom never told us about this, how much more stuff has she been hiding?" Lucy asked. 

It cuts Sakura No Hana. Marcel is putting on cologne. He is wearing this nice sweater Krysia got for him. Why is he all snazzy? He and Zuzanna are going on a double date, and they are taking Lincoln and Akari. He was so excited. Zuzanna's family only had a week left in Sakura No Hana while Marcel's family only had 2 weeks. Make your trip last and make it worth it. Marcel made sure about that. He was having a good time. 

He met his little cousin, and he loved him. Lincoln was partially the reason Marcel and Zuzanna were back together, he helped Marcel with some of his problems. He really opened up to Lincoln about things like he still grieves his dead grandmother many years later or how he still misses his father even though he walked out on him. Truth is, while Liliana never had any actual memories of her father, Marcel did. Lincoln really helped him. Lincoln learned that Marcel was a really special and wonderful person. So was Liliana. 

He heard a knock on the door and opened it. He saw that it was Zuzanna. She was wearing a flower skirt and a sweater. "Zuzanna! Powitanie!" (Welcome!) Marcel said before he and Zuzanna kissed. "Wejdź!" (Come in) he said as Zuzanna came it. "Twoja ciocia ma ładny dom." (Your aunt has a nice house) Zuzanna said. "Tak, to jest piękne." (Yes, it is beautiful.) Marcel said. "Więc gdzie jest Lincoln?" (So, where is Lincoln?) Zuzanna asked. "Hmm... Powinien spaść lada moment..." (Hmm... He should be down any minute...) Marcel said. 

After a little bit, Lincoln finally came down. He was wearing a sweater too. He also had on cologne. "Hey, Marcel. Hey, Zuzanna." Lincoln said. "Hi, Linky!" Zuzanna said. "Hey, Lincoln." Marcel said. "So, does Aunt Krysia or my mother know we're leaving? We have to pick up Akari too, don't forget that." Lincoln said. "Oh, my mother and Aunt Suziko both know. Don't worry. Ready to go?" Marcel asked. "Yep. Let's go." Lincoln said. They all left out the door pick up Akari.
