I was holding onto my backpack as if it was life itself. It held all the special letters my mother wrote. I had to do this to fufill her wish. I walked toward the forest I had entered many times before, however; this was different. Now I had an actual purpose, an actual desire to finish what my mother had started. I saw something I had never saw before, a light. I ran toward it and out came a red building.

This is just as how she explained to me.

I ran toward the clearing and sure enough I came to an alley of stalls. I ran even faster past these to the bathhouse I knew too well about. Just as my mother said, I ducked under the gate and saw stairs. I carefully went down them and reached the door. When I opened it I saw a man with 6 arms working.
"Who's entering my-" he turned around and saw my figure. He came closer and asked, "Sen, is that you?"

I spoke, "Hello Kamaji. I am not the Sen you speak of, but she wanted to give this to you." I handed him the letter and I watched him open it. I could see tears form at his eyes.

He asked, "What is your name little one?"

"Ironically, I am still named Sen," I replied. "Sen Ogino."

He said, "You remind me of her." I patted the top of my head. "Your mother was like a daughter to me for the time she was here."

I replied back, "I heard many stories of you Kamaji. They were all so funny and great. I know that she felt the same way about you because she always showed that through her stories."

He patted my head and said, "She raised you well. I'm assuming that you are going to need help looking around?" I nodded. He called into a strange device and told me, "Sit down. Lin will arrive shortly." Once he had calmed himself down he had gotten back to work. I saw little sootballs carrying pieces of coal into a fire. I didn't say anything, but Kamaji was still interested in what I was doing. He spoke up, "Your mother was horrible at working. When she first arrived, she couldn't even carry coal into that furnace." I laughed, knowing my mother was as bad as a worker as he said she was.

A few minutes later, a brown haired lady came in and greeted me. Once she saw me, she came running toward me. "Sen, you're back!" I was choking and Kamaji had separated the two of us.
He spoke, "She's Sen's daughter. However, her name is also Sen." She took another look at me and then realized what he meant.

She said, "I'm Lin. I was a friend of your mothers's. I know that Haku will be very happy to see you." She grabbed my hand, but then I stopped her.

I told her, "I was hoping that we could see Haku last. I was wondering if you could help me find others though."

She nodded and asked, "Who is first on the list?"

I remembered the people by heart and said, "Chichiyaku, Yubaba, Boh, Zeniba, then Haku." She nodded as I said the list and she grabbed my hand and dragged me to the outside. I saw so many stair cases and elevators throughout the building. When we were just about to enter, I handed her her letter. She read it on the spot and like Kamaji, she teared up. "My mother thought of you as one of her greatest friends here."

She asked me, "Where is your mother?"

I quieted down and said, "There was a plague back at my city and she was one of the first to be affected. She died about a year ago."

Lin got quiet and started patting my head, she soon tried to console me, "She's still with us. How would you like to go see her friends?" I nodded and she opened the door. I stood there, watching spirits walk around happily. She announced, "Today we would like to welcome the apperance of Sen's Daughter, Sen Ogino!"
