Heron Lake Plateau Aftermath

even if his question had been answered immediately it would have fallen on deaf ears. a blue eyed ghost stood on the horizon and she floated towards him ever so slowly.

orochi hadn’t noticed her at first. he was too focused on minori to notice her small form in the distance. but she drew closer and became faster with each step she took. and soon enough he took notice of her.

mama...?

minori and higoro may not have even been present at all. they melted into the bleak surroundings while his mother glowed. mama... he repeated,  more softly this time. she was here. after all those days he spent alone and being bitter at the world. takara has returned. he didn’t know how to feel about this until he went on speaking.

you- his words were caught by a short sob. no, don’t cry. don’t let her see you cry. orochi attempted to put on a facade. his ears shot up, his posture straightened. but his legs still shook. his eyes still watered.

you left me... his voice began to retain its usual assertive manner. you left me all alone! with minori and deku! he lowered his head and clenched his teeth. they could never replace his mother. y-you didn’t even say goodbye.
