The year is 2057, 12 years after the Incident that linked our world to Equestria. After a rather rough first contact, humans and ponies have learned to coexist somewhat peacefully.

One of these humans is Adam Trask. One of the first to cross the Gate to Equestria, he has lived in this strange universe for over ten years. And he couldn't be happier. He has a lovely home in Ponyville, a beautiful pony wife, and a sweet little pegasus for a daughter.

Then, one fateful Nightmare Night, disaster strikes, and Adam has to deal with something he's never encountered before: grief.

Authors note: I don't mind downvotes, but I'd appreciate it if you'd read the fic beforehand.

Thank you.

EDIT: Special thanks to MrSpartan for helping me edit this fic!
