- Hi, Mom, it's been awhile.
We've been touring village after village, as usual.
Yesterday, we got called in
to help out at a village that was under heavy fire.
We helped get these kids out of a school.
And then when we reunited them
with their families, it started snowing.
It never snows here.
It reminded me of home.
And of you and Dad.
I just wanted to let you know
I was thinking of you.
I love you, Mom, bye.
(tape rewinding)
I love you, Mom, bye.
(tape rewinding)
I love you, Mom.
(static hissing)
- Okay, let's see.
(electrical warbling)
(cheerful chiming)
Wow (chuckles).
Hi.
- [Melo] Hello.
- I am Sheila.
- Shila. - Sheila.
- Shyla. - Better, it'll come.
It's very nice to meet you.
Fist bump?
High five?
- Uh. - Oh, cool.
- I am. - Oh, Melo.
I know, it's a lovely name.
All right then.
There's a lot that I have to show you.
Follow me.
(pensive music)
(food sizzling)
- Sheila.
- You're the smartest girl I know.
Yup, both you and your daddy.
I can help you blow these out, ready?
One, two, three.
(door knocking)
I know, I love you too, honey.
Eight. - Sheila?
- How'd you get to be so big?
Your hair's so soft.
This is great.
Oh my gosh.
Melo, what are you doing?
Is dinner ready?
Okay, I'll be right there.

- Oh, that's so sweet of you,
but I need this glass for drinking.
- Oh. - Oh, don't look so sad,
silly, it's okay.
♪ I always thought forever I wanted you ♪
♪ This wonderful life ♪
- That's snow.
- Wow.
- My daughter, she loves snow more than anything else.
♪ And now, winter storm ♪
- Speaking of my daughter,
you, my new friend, are in for a real treat.
(heartwarming music)
Do you like it? - Yeah.
My daughter and my husband, they used to sit together
at that piano for hours every day.
- Could you teach me?
- Why not?
We're going to begin with scales.
- Uh, oh.
Hmm.
- Okay, so one finger at a time.
- Okay. - Start with your thumb on C.
Right there, and it looks and sounds like this.
My husband learned this faster than you are.
It's okay.
It's all right, try again.
Come on, we'll do it together.
Thumb on C, ready?
(electrical humming)
Keep practicing, okay?
- Mm-hm.
(electrical warbling)
- Oh, come on, come on, come on.
(electrical humming)
(sheila chuckling)
(static hissing)
(Sheila gasping)
(pensive music)
(Sheila sobbing)
(pensive music continues)
- [Melo] Hmm.
(cheerful chiming)
(explosive blasting)
Julia?
- Hi, Mom, if you get this message,
well, you know.
There's so much I wanna say to you.
(weapons firing)
Um, happy holidays.
I got you that robot as a present.
Because I've heard that they're really good companions.
Better than me.
I haven't been around for you lately.
I, I wish I could be there with you right now.
I wish I could just.
Mom? (explosive blasting)
(reflective music)
I'm forever grateful
for everything you've done.
I never realized I would miss those moments so much.
I want to come home.
I love you, Mom.
(melancholic music)
