Mei's heart sank hearing this. She wondered if Nomi felt like he needed to be of use to her to garner any attention from her. He was only five years younger than her but she decided to make him her son instead of a brother because Frey really needed a sibling. Someone she could connect with that wasn't an adult. "Nomi, why do you want to be helpful to Mother?"
"Mother found me and gave me a new life. Mother gave me, someone who could not remember what happened before, a new name and called me her son. I owe Mother so much and want to become strong so that I can protect Mother and older sister." Nomi said seriously.
Mei sighed and pulled Nomi into a hug. "Nomi, remember you are my son and you can do whatever you want. I will give you whatever path you want. If you want to be a normal child and just play every day I am willing to let you do as you please. If you wish to become strong, then I will also make this a possibility for you."
