Letting Go

I raised my eyebrow, a tad bit surprised. Not that Nathan had declared he had been thinking in general, but that it apparently occurred more often while I wasn't there. Normally, I'd have believed all his thoughts would be centered around becoming more powerful in any sort of way.

For his thoughts to actually diverge... it must've been serious.

"So what have you been thinking about?"

Nathan paused for a little while.

"...Well, although it's only by technicality, I have had the experience of living with a mother. While not the worst, it would be hard for anybody to believe she was the best either."

He opened his mouth before closing it. It seemed he found it difficult to phrase what he was saying clearly.
