@vulpesse resonated with encore...
it's taken encore a long time to accept miss ahri as her new mom, but she's used to it now, and regards her in that same light she once regarded her birth mother in. giving her new dress a twirl, she beams. "miss ah-- mama! we love the dress you gave us, thank you so much!" it's the first time encore has called her 'mama' instead of 'miss ahri,' and she's still embarrassed by it as the shade of her cheeks mirrors her hair.
