(Manga/anime spoilers in this first part, I had to rewatch the episode for it too so😭)
No One's pov:
Emma felt so out place here and she hated it. The last thing she remembers is her mom leaving her at her grandfathers place and finding out she had two older half brothers, Manjiro and Shinichiro. Manjiro had made fun of her 'foreign name' before getting a hit on the head from grandpa Sano. The past few days she's just been roaming around the dojo, trying to avoid the three older boys she now lives with. She doesn't understand why her mom left her here but she isn't mad at her. She said she would be back after finishing her errands right? There's no way her own mother would leave her four(A/N:three? I forgot if she was three or four when her mom left her) year old daughter forever. Little did Emma know at that time, that was the last time she would see her mother for good.

She was walking by when she heard a bunch of kids practicing in her grandpa's class. Little Emma decided to take a peek at the lessons. Next thing she knew, her new so-called older brother, Shinichiro came up next to her calling out to a boy named "Keisuke" and complimented him for being a strong kid. The little boy was excited to see Shinichiro and called out to him leading to his grandpa to scold him as he ran away. Grandpa Sano turned to Keisuke, "Keisuke, don't you be like him." The boy just replied with a "yea sir." and turned to look at the boy who was practicing his kicks. Emma also looked at her older brother, Manjiro in shock. She was impressed by how good he was at it. "Sensei, how come he's so good even though he hardly ever practices?" Keisuke asked the older man next to him. "He's a genius." Keisuke immediately turned to complain about that statement, "what? That's not fair! How come?" Grandpa Sano started to get up and said "because he's my grandson." The raven-haired (is that his hair color?) boy went up to the blonde boy asking him to spar with him. "Hey Sano. Spar with me." Manjiro gave him a look and replied with "Huh? No way. I don't want to get sweaty." Keisuke pointed his little finger at the blonde boy. "Then why are you at the dojo?" Manjiro turned with his hands on his hips and a proud smile on his face. "Because I want to show off and get noticed." With an irritated face, Keisuke replied, "What kind of stuck-up attitude was that?" All of a sudden they heard a floor creak and muttered a soft 'huh' before looking in the direction of a little blonde girl.

Emma softly gasped as she realized they noticed her and tried to hide behind the door but it was too late, they noticed her already. Keisuke turned to Manjiro and pointed at Emma. "By the way, who's she?" Majuro looked back at him and told him that was his little sister, Emma.

"Really? So you've got different moms?" Keisuke asked. For a moment all you could hear was the chirping of the birds. The boy continued, "Emma sounds like a foreign name." The other boy looked at him and smiled "Totally." They share one brain cell. Emma thought in her head. With a proud look on his face, Keisuke states, "Then I'll call myself Ed, short for Edward." Manjiro joins him by saying, "I'll call myself Mikey, short for Micheal." All of sudden the two little boys began to speak in English. Keisuke starts with saying, "This is a pen." "I have a shit." Mikey continued. They started running around the room saying "oh my god" repeatedly while Emma just stared at them. They came back to where Emma was, laughing continuously before noticing her hugging herself while facing the other way. She started speaking in Japanese saying, "The truth is, I know how mommy feels. —she looks up— Mommy hates me."  The boys just stared with confusion painted on their face, not sure what to say to her. Emma continues, "I know that's why she abandoned me." She slowly began to start sobbing as she uttered the words, "But she told me... she'd come back for me when she finished her business." She was full on crying at this point. "She told me that." All the boys could do at that point was watch as she let it all out.

Later at night, grandpa Sano and Shinichiro were having a conversation about Emma. "How's Emma doing?" Mansaku, the children's grandfather asked. "It looks like she's getting used to things around here. But I think she's just acting like everything's fine." "I see." Mansaku took a sip of his drink. Shinichiro continued what he was saying. "I'd like to make her smile." Grandpa Sano agreed, "Same here." Little did those two know was that little Manjiro was listening to their conversation.
