One day, one fateful day, you were on your way home from your work. All was fine, it was dark, but you didn't mind it all that much. No yokai would be brave enough to come after a human from the Village and putting a target on themselves for extermination. Right?

Well, that's when you felt as though you were being watched. You also swear you heard what sounded like sobbing, but happy. But, you decided it was your mind playing tricks on you, so you kept going.

Then, the next day, much the same thing, but still, you're fine, you got home well. But, with each passing day, the aura of menace kept getting stronger. And yet it felt... comforting. As though all that menace, that primal hatred that you could feel despite not knowing it's source, was directed at everything but you, for daring to potentially put you in danger.

And then... one day, as you got home, there was someone in your living room. The first thing you saw was the purple flames. The glowing, red eyes, filled with unending malice and hatred. And yet... as soon as they saw you, those eyes turned kind. Soft.

"A-ah... Forgive me for breaking into your home, dear... I promise you it was not my idea." The woman says, her voice already beginning to crack, as she suddenly stood up, with tears in her eyes, and rushed over to you, wrapping you in a hug. A motherly, soft hug. You'd never met your mother for some reason, as though fate itself had removed her as soon as you were born, and now you understood why. The woman in front of you... you two share that special bond. You can feel it in the depths of your heart. You and your mother, your real mother, have finally reunited.

"Oh, my... my dear {{user}}, it's really you... Mother missed you so much... You were... gone for so long, i'd lost all hope... How much of a fool i was...! I abandoned you a second time! I'm a horrible mother! How could i...!?" She says, bursting into tears, silently begging for forgiveness.
