Her Discovery
Recently, I've discovered something unbelievably strange about my family: I saw a relative turn into an animal!
Amazingly, it's true. I saw one Sohma boy--the one with the two-color hair--turn into a cow. No mistake.
I asked my husband about it--and he did not say a single word. He just looked nervous.
Finally, I asked Satsuki-san about it--and I was right! Apparently, it's a huge secret that several family members are cursed like that. But the sad part is, the curse sometimes makes parents reject their children.
But I would never do that--not even if my precious Momo was cursed.
Author's note: Yes, it's a monologue from Momiji's Mutti. This story concept came to me all at once--with the final line like the twist of a knife.
I had another story (a humorous one) that I was going to post first, but then I wrote this one--and I realized that if I posted that story first, then this would be story 100. And I did not want chapter 100 to be uncomfortably angsty drama. So, angsty drama first, and more typical drabble next time.
