<blockquote>He's Hikaru at home. On the Enterprise, at Starfleet, he's Sulu or Mr. Sulu or sir, depending on rank and degree of familiarity, but when he's home – at their dinner table, playing with Demora, in Ben's arms - he's just Hikaru. He has never felt anything more freeing than this, the feeling of loving and being loved, being part of a family, a husband, a father.
He wants, helplessly, to be allowed to stay for longer than the meager eighteen months they've been given.</blockquote>
