[ As they return, despite her being in an unfamiliar form, despite Rex hardly even remembering her at all, he immediately spots Amparo, somehow miraculously returned. But not as a hawk, or a pit bull terrier, or the dumbo octopus from before. No, now she is a mole.
They both stare dumbfounded at each other and tentatively approach. Eventually, they touch, and Rex clumsily picks her up into his hands, holding her close, looking awed. It's been so long, and he hardly remembered what it was like to have her in the first place, that this feeling is...completely unexpected. Is this what it's like to be understood, completely and unconditionally? To be cared for, despite that?
He hugs her close, burying his face in her mole fur.
Later on, he can be found sitting by the portal to his world. Through it is the sight of a giant derelict power plant on the outskirts of a city. But he's not looking at it. He's on the ground, Amparo cradled in his arms, watching everyone else from a distance. He could talk to people, but...he doesn't want to interrupt anyone else's farewells. He could go home, but...he's not ready to go back there, inherit whatever life it is he left behind without a clue.

So. He sits and watches. ]
