There's a cool breeze coming from the east as you stand ankles deep into the ocean. For once all you could feel was pure bliss. Nothing made sense but in this moment everything seemed to align. You begin to watch as the high tide starts coming in. The waves splashing in and then pulling back out with one swift motion. It's true that the sea will always take back what's so rightfully hers. At least that's what Odasaku taught you. He would always follow up by telling how you reminded him of the sea. Obviously at such a young age you didn't understand what he meant, but you could tell that he loved you. Oda adored you and everything you did. You are his daughter, and that's a bond that could never be replaced or forgotten. He would have been so proud of the woman you've become, and are becoming. You close your eyes beginning to reminisce on the memories you shared together.
