“…I’m sorry..” she squeezed tighter,
”..Mother I…
I know that you’re familiar with the other you….
and I’ll confess, I’m her daughter. Not the one you gave birth to…”She shook.
“And I commend the hell out of you..
You’re a damn fine mother, much better than I’ve ever had..” she looked up into the other’s eyes,"I so selfishly wish that you could be my mother instead..”
“No, darling, you are mistaken.
I’m not as strong as you think I am. But I’m so proud of you for holding on, for fighting ceaselessly for what you believe in, and for that, your spring will come.
I so selfishly want to help you, to save you and your sister…and you don’t know how much I love you two.”
She then pulled away a little to smile at her beloved daughter.
“Thank you, Satsuki. Thank you for being so strong. I love you.”
