The man's voice carried a distant echo, as if he were recalling memories from a very distant past.
"Returning to my hometown, my mother had grown old, she had long heard of my achievements, and she was proud of me— I couldn't tell her about The Grand Duchy's affairs, I just told her that I was going to a distant laboratory to work, and that it might be difficult to come back in the recent years."
"My mother happily told me to go on, that she was doing well by herself, the neighbors were all looking after her, and of course she was also strong-willed and helped the neighbors in return, never taking kindness for granted."
"I was reluctant to leave, but in the end, it was my mother who sent me away, and then I went to The Grand Duchy's private laboratory to participate in the research of secret technologies."
