On a fine day, and a day after they discussed the case, still the next working day, but still early before her office timings. Umber slept deeply like any modern-day princess with a box next to her as she got stuck deeper and deeper into her morning dreams.

Out of the blue something similar to her mother's voice repeated her name twice and Umber was immediately woken up by that sweet dreamy voice of hers.

Looking around her, her ash eyes laced over the beautifully wrapped gift box that was randomly placed next to her on the bed. She then spent some time glaring through the box and examining the wrapping details and wondering who could've sent her the gift box to her address. Who would know her address to send this box so randomly and occasion less?

Crossing her ash eyes more further she overview the brunette floating hair of a woman who still was dressed in her casuals and had greyish eyes, that's what she thought but then again the hair length shortened and color turned white, skin grew much paler like snow and her eyes staring deeper purple into her soul. Before her eyes stood Caroline Penelope, but still Umber mistook her for the girl's mother Enumaki Ichigo.

"It's Mother Enumaki," shouted Umber almost immediately knowing the case she has been working through. The victim and the mother of that victim.

"Who is Enumaki Ichigo?

Guess she still is careful enough to offer you something for a present that I slid by your side. Penny, it's not her but me, your mother Caroline.

It almost reminded me of memories from your childhood when you sometimes woke up tired and called for Mother Joyce rather than me being around. I sometimes feel ashamed of calling myself your mother, as you sought other ladies for your mother rather than your actual mother. For I knew nothing on how to provide you love or rather gave you time to provide it. I always stayed away from you.

You used to say, Mother Joyce and I would rather feel comfortable of your profound bonding. But little did I know that it was affecting you. For you, she became your mother than I who was your actual one and it took you longer enough to even accept me as your mother and then you did accept me and decided to live independently and away from her with me as your mother. And now when I hear Mother Enumaki from you, I am no longer surprised. Even tho it hurts.

You didn't get the love you should have deserved from either of us mostly me and you are so innocent, kind, and caring and you still don't know what love is supposed to be, the care you are supposed to have." Caroline walked out of her daughter's bedroom while carefully closing the door behind her.

"Mother Enumaki, or that girl's parent. You left." Umber still wanted to have some quality sleep time. She was reluctantly woken up and still had some time to sleep before her alarm could turn on.

The next moment her alarm rang louder, making her realize for the extra tiring and a long day today. Today was her field day alongside Madame Kingsley, having to visit all those places that both the boys were able to pinpoint. Sitting on the bed with the alarm tuning loud, the first thing she did was immediately turn it off. Then she walked out of her bed, chose her fresh clothes immediately, and ran into the bathroom as she has to be present before the working time today.

While she filled her bathtub with some warm water, Umber had enough time to set up her clothes and close the bedroom door as well as the bathroom door.
