THIS SPRING... ...I THOUGHT GRANDMA HAD CAUGHT A MILD COLD... ...BUT HER HEALTH STARTED TO WORSEN RAPIDLY. AS A RESULT, SIX MONTHS AGO, HER CONDITION GOT TO THE POINT... ...WHERE EVEN THE DOCTORS SAID THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO. HER BODY CAN'T ENDURE IT... ...BECAUSE HER HEART IS SICK. STILL, I'M GLAD SHE LOOKS A LOT BETTER TODAY. TODAY, MY STEPS FEEL LIGHTER... ...THANKS TO THE SNOW AND THE PRESENT I RECEIVED. I SHOULD BUY A GIFT FOR PRINCESS LUCY ON MY WAY BACK HOME... ...AND SOME POWDER FOR GRANDMA'S FAVORITE HOT CHOCOLATE, TOO. I'M NOT SURE IF SHE'LL DRINK IT, BUT STILL.

WE NEED TO MOVE ON TO THE ACTUAL SETUP AND TEST RUN, AND YOU STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN PAST THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE? I'M SORRY, SIR. BUT... MR. WILHELM, IT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO MODIFY THE MAGIC DOME... WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE ORIGINAL CREATOR, OLIVER. UM, THAT OLIVER, IS HE... I TOLD YOU, HE'S DEAD. ...UNDERSTOOD, SIR. WE'LL TRY OUR BEST.
