Her mother once told her how she felt when she first met her father… when she first met the person she fell in love with.
'Love is an emotion. Though, unlike most emotions, this emotion is not fleeting.'
When you love someone, when you give a part of yourself to that person, when you do silly things that you otherwise would not, when you are lost in the thoughts of that person… that is the first indication of love.
'And when you find yourself doing things that would somehow connect to that person, that is when you should know you have fallen… or so mom said.'
Miyuki did not know love. She had not been very close to her father or could remember him much since he passed away when she was much younger.
Her mother had raised her by herself… and with the many sisters that she had.
'A big family…'
