I am glad there was not a clause or something preventing Huitième from being a phantom alongside his mother. It is nice to see them interact and work together.
They are close, and I can appreciate how much Quatrième dotes on her son. Makes me really miss my own mother… I can see the slight similarities despite their age difference. But I would rather not think about that - it has been too long to start digging up the past.
Over time, as I learn about Huit’s history and how young Quatrième had him, I am damn impressed that she was able to balance being a mother while still pursuing her professional life. She makes quick and insightful decisions and I can certainly respect her for that. It is almost intimidating.
Hence, yet again, why I will never grow the metaphorical set of balls I would need to show her any of my photographs.
