Intertwined with his mission are vivid dreams and flashbacks of the Valley Dor, where he imagined battles with Plant Men and interactions with iconic Martian characters, evoking his deep longing for a place he feels he truly belongs. As he finally lands on Mars, Kimball confronts the loneliness and reality of his situation, experiencing a profound connection to his past as he hears the calls of those he once loved, ultimately leading him toward an awakening realization of where he truly calls home.
