The first sentence began with ‘I miss you, Mother,’ which made her giggle.
‘What an adorable kid.’
With that thought, Celosia continued to read it with delight.
As she read further into the essay, her expression gradually softened.
“Hmm…”
The story, presumably from Ashbluff's past, was written like a poem.
It described the struggles of a poor Val’s childhood, where even buying a meal outside was difficult.
