In an ordinary town, there lived a schoolgirl. She was an orphan, residing with her distant uncle and aunt, who rarely paid her any attention. Their home was a place void of warmth, where She often found herself lost in the world of her thoughts and games.

At school, She had a small circle of friends who tolerated her constant complaints and daydreaming. She had a knack for finding fault in everything around her, from the cafeteria's tasteless meals to the enjoyable games that she shared with her friends. 

"Agh.... This boring. Why do we have to study, when it is all written in books? It's not like we going to lose all of our written knowledge suddenly."

"Yuck... This tastes like bleach. Who in the right mind would cook  this?"

"Ugh, I can't believe it! I've tried defeating the villainess in that Otome game a hundred times, and I keep getting a game over no matter what I do!"

Her friends, though, had learned to see past her grumbling exterior and appreciate the occasional moments of genuine camaraderie. 

One sunny afternoon, as the girl trudged home from school, she couldn't help but reminisce about one friend who truly understood her. She was absent today and didn't respond to any text she sent. 

"Why do Glasses always have to be so mysterious and disappear without a word? I cannot tolerate that glutton on my own. At this rate, I am going to be broke before the winter vacations."

She decided to pay a visit to her friend's home.

Lost in her bittersweet memories, she crossed the street without looking, fate took an unexpected turn. 

His mind raced, bringing all the memories from her past. 

'Aaargh.... Why does it have to be painful? It ok.., at least they don't have to worry about me anymore. But still... '

The screeching of tires and the blaring horn of a truck were the last sounds heard as she passed out, her world fading to black.

Her endless slumber in the dark void was broken by the feeling of warmth.

She felt at ease in this feeling. She felt alive again. Her thoughts were senseless and chaotic.

After came unintelligible sounds that were coming from seemingly far away, but there was a soothing voice among them which brought harmony to her chaotic state of mind.

 

She felt as if something was trying to disturb her current peace as she felt the space around her begin to contract. 

(panic)

DO NOT WANT TO DIE!

DO NOT WANT TO DIE!

She was overwhelmed by sensations. She held her breath. But her lungs felt they would collapse and unintentionally, she took a breath. 

(Breathe)

It's over.

(Cry)

(Cry)

"Congratulations...your highness, it's a girl."

She felt someone lifting her. The next touch which she felt was similar to the soothing warmth.

"Don't worry child, mama is here. You are so cute. Mama will never leave you alone."

(Mother?)

She felt a warm embrace which made her forget what she was crying for. She doesn't want this feeling of warmth to go away. 

"She looks exactly similar to you dear..." another voice which was not as feminine as prior, but she could tell was full of concern for her.

She realised she was cradled in the arms of a woman who emanated a sense of maternal love and warmth. Her heart swelled with a strange mix of emotions – confusion, relief, and a profound sense of security. It was as if she had found the motherly affection she had longed for all her life.

The woman gently rocked her, humming a soothing melody that resonated with the newborn's heart, unable to articulate her overwhelming feelings. Was this her mother? It couldn't be; she had never known her real mother.

Her mind was a whirlwind of questions, but for now, all she wanted to do was bask in the warmth of this newfound affection and the sense of belonging that had eluded her for so long. She nestled closer to the woman, feeling a sense of contentment she had never known before, and silently thanked whatever twist of fate had brought her to this place of love and acceptance.

She wants to see her mother.

Can she?

She tries to open her eyes.

"Huh? "
