When I was little… Though I can’t remember her face anymore, I loved being in my mother’s arms. Even on nights when we could’ve been bombed at any moment, just having my mother by my side allowed me to sleep soundly. My mother was strong. Anya tells me all the time that even if she’s in danger, her Mama will come save her, so she’ll be okay. The reason she’s able to smile and have fun like that is because you’re a safe place for her, Yor-san. We agents of the state have been trying to rebuild this world through our blood, sweat and tears. Yet she managed to accomplish that all on her own. You’re very strong, Yor-san. This may be rude to say to an unmarried woman, but you’re already a wonderful mother.
