Satoki Y/n - First Person
7 Years Old

"ごめなさい!ごめなさい お母さん!"
I sobbed into my mothers arms that night, the night my father left, the night my older sibling left. The support of our family that held together strongly, broke apart because of my sudden ability. A gift, but also.. a curse. "My sweet Y/n, do not apologise, sweet Y/n." She kissed my forehead and embraced me tightly, singing a soft tune.

"守りもいやがる 盆から先にゃ。"

Her voice was gentle as she rocked me back and forth, a lullaby.

"雪もちらつくし 子も泣くし。"

I felt myself relax as I listen to the lullaby.

"盆がきたとて 何嬉かろ。"

Leaning into her body I continue to listen to my mothers voice, singing about someone who didn't like to work... calming me as I listen.

"かたびらは無し 帯はなし。"

I close my eyes with her embrace around my small body, she keeps her arms securely around me as we sit on the kitchen floor against a cupboard door.

"この子よう泣く 守りをばいじる。"

Her voice was a little shakey and weak but soft and warm.

"守は一日 やせるやら。"

I snuggle into her, seaking for her warmth as I slowly felt more tired.

"早よ行きたや この在所越えて。"

I began to drift off towards the end of the familiar lullaby.

"向うに見えるは 親の家。"

Her embrace around me tightens as I fall asleep in her arms, only hearing her faintly as she sings the last line of the song.

"向うに見えるは 親の家。"
