Something about the unfamiliarity surrounding this one’s presence was…jarring to Satsuki. It was clearly not the Ragyo she knew, nor did she appear relatively hostile either.
It was then that she uttered a single word that she hadn’t in years, though it felt more like centuries.
“Mom..?”
“Satsuki!”
Ragyo smiled over at her daughter from her cooking, stopping her stirring for a while as she went over to her. “How’s school? Sorry that lunch’s not ready yet; I came back a teensy bit late!”
