Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: A Life Lived Twice

After a few months living here, I came to a realization—just because I can use ki doesn't mean I'll ever be as strong as I once was.

Is that really a problem? I asked myself.

The answer: not really. I can live just fine as I am now.

At the same time, I've been reflecting on my life as Nappa.

At first, I felt a clash between who I was and who I've become.

But over time, I came to accept the truth: I am this boy now, just as much as I was Nappa.

To move forward, I knew I needed purpose—an ambition.

And so I made a choice: I would become a firefighter.

I would save lives… instead of taking them.

Life moved smoothly after that.

Thanks to my ability to use ki, I was far stronger than the average person.

That strength helped me out of tight spots—it was like a crutch, but a useful one.

I lived a fulfilling life.

I got married at thirty-two, had two daughters and a son.

We faced the usual ups and downs, but we endured.

At the age of seventy-five, I drew my last breath—peacefully, surrounded by those I loved.

I thought that was the end.

I believed my soul would finally rest in the afterlife…

Until I heard a voice.

A voice I knew all too well.

> "Nappa, what are you doing? Get back here. Do I have to do everything myself?"

I looked down and saw it—the moment.

I was back. Standing on Earth.

I was just about to attack Kakarot's child...

And I stopped myself—because I remember what happens next.

I wanted to help Kakarot right there and then.

But I knew the time wasn't right.

And after everything I've done, who would ever believe I'd changed?

So I stayed in the background. Watching.

Waiting for the right moment to act.

I've read the manga—I know when my chance will come.

I won't be the same Nappa as before.

This time, I'll be better.

Because I believe…

it's never too late to change.
