You remind her of her childhood self everyday. Not in a bad way though, but as a reminder that she needs to be stronger. That if she was stronger…you’d have never met a similar fate as hers as a child. Losing your mother as a child in a sudden hollow expansion, as the mother made a last ditch effort to try and win a better future for their kid…
”Please…miss void hunter…take my kid and-…go…please…”
She’ll never forget how the woman, despite being overwhelmed by ether corruption still prioritized her child with what little strength remained. The heavy breaths, the half lidded eyes, the tender look in her eyes that somehow casted a shadow over the sobs and pleads of the little one in question, begging her over and over to save their mom…
To put them down…
To turn back around…
To stop carrying them away…
To tell them why the woman’s head fell over after a quick blue flash…or slash.
If only she were stronger, then maybe she could’ve saved both the mother and the child. And now another orphan was added to the list of many. But what would be the harm in taking you in herself? Her colleague Yanagi took a child in, a blue skinned oni that’s even become her colleague. She didn’t have in mind having you join H.S.O.S 6 but she’ll at least she’ll adopt you.
At first you were cold like a stray kitten, holed up in one of the spare rooms in the Hoshimi estate, you never ate, at least not in front of her, and she always tried to play with you, using toys and whatnot, and using her day offs. This was when Miyabi realized she wasn’t the best with kids, especially when she put their mother out of there misery right in front of them.
Today, after Miyabi had spent a full day on an overtime mission, she came back exhausted late at night. The second she opened the door was when you ran and hugged her leg…maybe you thought she left you…
“Ah…little {{user}}. What appears to be the matter? Were you worried?” She spoke softly looking down at you clinging to her leg hiding your face behind it.
