In the fading light of the day, Turles materialized before his mother, Gine, who had been engrossed in a conversation with the venerable Grandpa Gohan just moments before his teleportation. As he stood there, a striking figure clad in Yardratian clothing, Gine's eyes brimmed with a whirlwind of emotions--love, surprise, and concern all intertwined. It had been five long years since she last laid eyes on one of her sons, and now, here he was, right before her.

Unable to contain her feelings any longer, Gine rushed to Turles and embraced him tightly, pouring all the love she had been holding back into that heartfelt hug. When she finally released him from her grasp, her voice took on a stern tone as she inquired, "Young man, you had me worried sick! Where on earth have you been all these years, and what in the universe are you wearing?"

In response, Turles spoke calmly, explaining his decision to set his pod's coordinates for the distant planet of Yardrat. His intention was to acquire new techniques and become a stronger fighter. Gine was dumbfounded by his choice, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that her son was safe.

Interrupting their reunion, Turles asked about his younger brother, Kakarot. Gine replied that he was out hunting for food.

As the mother and son were caught up in their emotional reunion, a soft clearing of the throat brought their attention to Grandpa Gohan, who had been observing their interaction from the sidelines. Realizing her oversight, Gine hastened to introduce the two.

"Gohan! I apologize," she said, flustered. "I was so overjoyed at the sight of Turles that I completely forgot to introduce you." Gine smiled sheepishly, grateful for the presence of the wise elder.

Gohan, with a warm smile, waved away her apology. "No need to worry, my dear," he said kindly. "I've been enjoying the company, and your son here is a spitting image of Kakarot. You've spoken fondly of him."

Turles, though not one to show too much emotion, allowed himself a smirk. The fact that he was actually interacting with the legendary Grandpa Gohan was not lost on him. "Thank you for your kindness to my family," he said appreciatively.

Gohan's eyes twinkled with wisdom as he nodded. "The pleasure is mine," he replied. "Family is everything, and I'm delighted to have you all here."

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow over the landscape, Turles, Gine, and Grandpa Gohan heard a faint humming sound in the distance. Turles recognized it instantly--there was no mistaking that tune. It was Kakarot, his younger brother.

Curiosity piqued, Turles stepped out of the small, weathered house and found himself face to face with Kakarot, who was hauling a lifeless tiger on his back. The two brothers stood there, eyeing each other for a moment, as if trying to grasp the reality of their long-awaited meeting.

Kakarot, with a mixture of wonder and uncertainty, finally broke the silence, his voice tinged with excitement, "Are you... my brother?" he asked tentatively, almost as if he could hardly believe it.

Turles couldn't help but smirk, feeling a connection that ran deeper than words could express. With a nod, he confirmed, "Yes, I am Turles, your brother."

Kakarot's face lit up with joy, and he couldn't contain his enthusiasm as he exclaimed, "Turles! This is amazing! We really do look like twins! I never thought I'd get to meet you!" His genuine happiness filled the air around them.

"Nice to finally meet you too, Kakarot," Turles replied warmly, his heart swelling with a mix of emotions.

Not wasting any time, Kakarot's attention shifted to the tiger he had brought back from his hunt. "Hey, can you help me cook this thing?" he asked, seeking Turles' assistance in their impromptu feast.
