{ ♔ } — "I am sure she is fine."
It was understandable that she would never actually call their mother any term of endearment. Why she still had awkward tendencies was beyond the elder girl but it was out of her control. All she could do was really just attempt small talk like they had before until it felt like Satsuki was talking to herself really.
"How are you though?"
"Sure...that she's fine?"
What's this? Didn't Satsuki know how their mother was? Ryuko's case was justified; she wasn't wanted in the Kiryuin household ever since she was a child. She didn't even know whether Satsuki knew that they were sisters, or whether her mother would even acknowledge her if they ever met in the middle of the street or something.
To her elder sister's second question, Ryuko gave a nonchalant shrug.
"Ah, same old, same old. Ya wouldn't want to know about me, Kiryuin. I'm just fine."
