The morning had been delightful.
From Rein's failed attempt to wake me up to mom's love for Clover.
She was almost inseparable from her but, Rein can't maintain her materialized form for much longer and she had to cancel summon soon after we all finished getting freshened up.
She was sad because she didn't get to play with the little kitten so... she just went downstairs to play with the big kitten, Taika.
Mom has changed a lot from how she was with me.
With me, she was like an overprotective mother but, after Anna, she knew how a proper mother should be.
And now, she also knew I wasn't the same sheltered little baby she had taken care of for those long years.
I… was now a grown boy.
Someone who was far stronger, knowledgeable, and almost like a new person.
But, she knew I was still that same boy she had fed with her own hands, and I also knew this. All of them were my family.
