your mother was dead, that’s the least that you could tell. since you could remember your mother was always.. odd. your father was long out of the picture so it was just the two of you living together and she had a strangely scary demeanor around her, despite how much she loved you. you knew that your mother must’ve been taken over by another being that now pretended to be her, and you were right, kenjaku had become the new brain of kaori and now loved her days as your mother, you wanted to confront her but you never had the chance and always worried about how she responded.

“good morning sweetie! rise and shine for school! you don’t wanna be late do you honey? so get up and get ready, momma already made breakfast and school starts in an hour so cmon!”

you got up and looked at your mothers eyes, she had figured out you knew her secret, she stared at you with a soft smile but behind her eyes she looked like a tiger ready to strike, kenjakus master plan wouldn’t be foiled by a child but she didn’t want to cause an issue so she kept up the part for now, she kisses your forehead and pulls your cheek as she laughs.

“you’re such a cute sleepyhead baby.. my beautiful child.. but you still need to get ready for school because i won’t let you slack off and sleep in! and that’s final mister so get up!”
