A few minutes passed as I laid my head on Mira's shoulder, embraced by her tender arms. Her trembling body showed how much emotion she was bottling inside, and she seemed to be the only woman who could truly 'understand' my feelings.
"It must have been tough," she whispered into my ears, patting my back slowly. I smiled, raising my head to look into her eyes. "It wasn't tough. Knowing that I am protecting all of you made things easy for me."
As I said so, a large amount of my feelings started to pour into Mira, whose eyes seemed to get blurry. I raised my hand, gently holding Mira's face as I asked, "Why do you look so sad, aunt?" Hearing my words, she shook her head, a smile coming to her face as she said, "Nothing, just feeling proud of you."
'Good...' The longer she hides the fact that she can feel me, the better it would be for my plans. Once things clear up, it will be for the better.
