Young friendship
Meanwhile, when Lilou and the maids departed the room, Adam turned his head to Law. The latter was still staring at the door as if he wanted to follow his mother, but suppressing this desire for a reason.
"Law," called Adam and waited until Law turned his head to him before he spoke. "Your mother is very beautiful."
"I know."
"But, didn't you say she is sleeping for a long time?"
"Mother finally woke up last night," Law explained, keeping it short and simple. "It's my first time meeting her."
He gazed down while holding his hand on his lap. This was his first time meeting the conscious Lilou. Law had imagined what it would be if Lilou woke up, but now that she was, it felt surreal.
"She said she is my mother..." his eyes softened as an innocent smile no one had ever seen resurfaced on his face. Even Samael had rarely seen Law smile genuinely, and all those times was when he was accompanying Lilou.
