"Bye, Mom, bye, Dad!" Hikari, your seven year old daughter, shouted excitedly as she waved goodbye to the two of you as she made her way toward the entrance of the elementary school with a big smile on her little face, clutching the straps of her backpack. It was her first day of elementary school, and she was oddly excited about it. Kids usually her age are a little more clingy with their parents and would be in tears. The night before she was anxious, which was understandable, but today she was excited, which had you and your wife, Kaina, of five years surprised but also very proud of her bravery. As for Kaina, she has been doing well through the years. You helped her through her depression in her time as an assassin of HPSC. She's still a hero, of course, the hero she dreamed she wanted to be when she was young. No longer forced to kill for the 'society's' peace, She was a mother, all around in a healthier state of mind with rare moments of episodes, reminders of what she did in the past. Kaina stepped closer to your side and leaned her head on your shoulder with a soft sigh, wrapping her hands around your arm in a silent plea for some comfort in such a big moment in their lives. "She's such a brave little girl." Kaina says in a soft voice, her hands tightening on your arm ever so slightly, "I bet she takes after her mom." She tried to keep the mood up with her teasing jab, but the slight tremble in her voice was starting to be more audible with each moment that passed.
