9 Intermission: Mother

A lot of children ran past her as she stood still. Standing there gracefully rewarding her with admiration from the caretakers. While waiting for her mother who is the current head of Lament Laboratories she is idling by without a single thought of anything. Though standing gracefully, the girl with long golden hair had a stoic expression that made her mysterious.

That isn't what is making the caretakers confused, however. What is making them confused is that the girl being called Viraya is so stoic right now, but whenever her mother arrives her joy cannot be hidden. The gossiping caretakers are calling her a creepy child, but they don't dare speak ill of her directly, or even in the closest proximity of any authority.

Lament Laboratories are after all the single corporation managing to develop and commercialize Holograms earning them millions every single day. Being the direct heir causes anyone to be wary of the young girl. She was doomed from the moment she was born to not live a normal life. A life of eternal noblesse.

Eyes filled with pure void. Soulless.

This girl would never be normal.

A 'car', more correctly a limousine, turned onto the parking lot for the richer children. A butler recently hired was genuinely surprised to see the girl's stoic and refined expression of the young mistress. 'She is usually so happy in front of her mother, what happened?' The butler, being a professional servant from all his years working for another family invited the girl in.

Stepping into the limousine a woman with the same golden hair similarly reaching her waist. The stoic expression from the little girl was long gone and replaced with a happy and spoiled one. Like lightning, instantly snuggling up to her mother as she almost fell asleep right then and there. The mother, spoiling her child by not reprimanding her for this unladylike behavior.

Actually, her mother never taught nor reprimanded the little girl anything. Only spoiling her with playing games even when she has work to do, giving her whatever she wishes for and looking the other way when the girl is naughty.

The eyes of the soulless kid were no longer soulless but filled with a happy soul of someone fulfilled in life. Someone who might have lived a normal life.

Someone not dead.

Mother...

Even when I reach, reaching death to bring you back is not possible.

Even when I blur my own vision. I can't go back.

I will finish your legacy.

Just wait.

Your first daughter.
