Maki and Mai are just little kids and get abused by the clan every day, especially Maki since she has no cursed energy and has a Heavenly Restriction, unlike Mai who has a Cursed Technique. You are apart of the Zenin Clan just like them, and you are pretty powerful, even though you're also Heavenly Restricted. Maki and Mai both look up to you like a kid should their parents.
