"Hm...I'm not sure to be honest, I vaguely remember the feeling of being with my mother. I remember feeling intense love, comforting hugs and a love for the world around her.

Being near you makes me feel calm and not under any kind of pressure like the clan put on me. But I'm still mixed up about things and don't know what it feels like to be in love, so I don't even know if I can feel love. Maybe I'm thinking too much about all of this..."
