“Thanks again for helping me rearrange my furniture. I already feel better, the clutter of the room was causing clutter in my mind. Oh, could you move that crate over here”
“It's my pleasure. Oof… Although, I begin to wonder if perhaps Vyctor would have been a better option in terms of strength... It really is rather heavy, what’s in it?”
“Oh, it’s my memory box! See, it’s full of all sorts of keepsakes I couldn’t bear to part with. This is the trophy I won from the golfing tournament I entered in middle school, and here’s the pom poms I used when I was captain of the cheer squad. Wow, I forgot, I even have the first dress pattern I ever designed in here!”
“Magnificent! You’ve led a very accomplished life, haven’t you?”
“Oh come on, it’s nothing that exciting! But if something seems interesting, I’m always going to give it my all.”
“That’s a very admirable trait, indeed. Hm, and who’s this fine fellow?”
“Oh… That’s the teddy bear that my mother gave me…”
“Is something wrong?”
“Hm? Oh! Sorry, yes, I just… sigh I was thinking how much nicer these memories would be if my mom were around to experience them with me…”
“Ah, of course… You lost her when you were very young, if I remember correctly…”
“Yeah… It’s been really hard without her around, you know? Even after all this time, I miss her so much. Does that sound silly?”
“Not in the slightest, I understand… If it helps put your heart to ease, I do believe she’s never left your side… I’m positive she’s been watching over you all this time, and smiling along with each joyous moment you’ve been able to experience.”
“You think? Thank you Von, I’d really like that to be true… I just hope that I’ve been making her proud…”
“I’m certain of it, there’s a great deal to be proud of.”
