As we pass by the garden,

I spot Norina and Ornain.


The two are diligent in planting,

occasionally stopping to converse.


Ornain seems to tease Norina,

earning an ear pinch.


I shake my head in both

amusement and disbelief.


Those two are a dynamic, 

alright.


Seeing them again,

memories of Norina's statement

resurface in my mind.


Perhaps her statement 

was not meant with malice...

We pass the kitchen,

and the head chef stops Master.


"Nan Aiker!"

he exclaims, 

using her non-Reversed name.


Mrs. Aiker was his caretaker.


She hasn't changed at all.

Somehow, she remained the same—

kind, gentle, welcoming.


She was like his mother,

being the only female figure in Master's childhood.
