Takes place a few days after she was welcomed in Suyin's residence
Her smile reminds me of my mother's never-fading beauty; the same goes with the sincerity and passion in her eyes. The cleanliness and chastity in mother's heart was very much alike to her's-a heart that never seemed to commit sins. All these things bring me to the past, yet it felt so distant from my heart, like I traveled away from who I was.
My life here these prior days has been full of despair and darkness; my heart would burst after I've been daggered by these past events. The matriarch assured me that this city is the safest among the rest, but the ghosts of the past couldn't stop sneaking in my bedroom at night!
As the sun entered the heavens, I didn't feel any more different. I saw the matriarch with concerned eyes gazing at my eyes. "It's time to move on. Wherever your mother may be, I'm sure she'll be proud to learn of her daughter being brave. I'll help you to be a better person; I know she couldn't be any happier to see her daughter growing up to be a very intelligent woman, okay?" she remarked.
