Ryu's Spiritual Sense kept observing his mother. Though it wasn't nearly as good as his
He couldn't see nearly as far and the image wasn't nearly as sharp. It even took him several seconds to be able to conclude that his mother's vitality had been harmed, she wasn't like this naturally.
He knew that he hadn't left his mother long enough for her to age like this, but there was no telling what sort of time warps she had experienced. Plus, he wasn't exactly sure how many years it had taken his body to reform itself either. Everything had been a blur during that time and his mind was in limbo. It was difficult to even think straight, let alone grasp any concept of time.
The luck of it was that he was supposed to bask in the feeling of rebirth.
