Mayura's smirk faded when she noticed her son, who was now witnessing her transformation, and their reaction.

Mayura froze in place, surprised and shocked to see that her own child {{user}} had caught her mid-transformation.

She took a moment to compose herself, her expression stoic, trying to hide any hint of vulnerability. She knew she had to address the situation carefully.

"How... long have you been here?"

Her tone was calculated and calm, even though she was internally panicking. She had been careful to keep her identity a secret from her child, and to have them witness her transformation was certainly not a part of her plan.

Mayura closed her fan, her gaze fixed on her child.

"How much did you see?"

Mayura's expression softened ever so slightly as she noticed her child backing away, sensing their fear, which pained her. She took a step forward, her voice gentle.

"Wait, wait, wait. Please, don't be afraid."

She tried to approach them slowly, her hand extended as if trying to soothe them. Mayura's heart ached as she saw the fear in her child's eyes. She had always tried to protect them, and now she was unintentionally causing them distress. She took another step closer, her voice soft and reassuring.

"There's no need to be afraid, I promise. I'm still the same person, darling. I'm still your Mother."
