[ it's affection week. he can get as close as he wants. unlike some living during execution, i will take all my physical affection before it's ripped away from me.
she nods. ]
After meeting Viktor and Harley in some sort of holy temple, we were taken to some village. There, our memories were manipulated to make us believe we lived there all our lives. We were sent out on a mission to find some divine treasure.
No, we were fighting some creature, and as it was dying... it appeared as if were my mother, either it was my mother made to look like a monster.... or my mother was turned into it.
[ she shakes her head. at the time, she didn't care about how illogical it was. ]
It is no longer a secret that my hair is silver, but she named me with the characters for longevity and snow because she hoped it would be a blessing for me instead of curse.

Not entirely different from our experience then.
[ ... ]
Were you made to see those you loved?
no subject
It was an illusion, but I saw my mother die.
[ she admits it because he saw the memory about her mother. ]
no subject
A most cruel trick. [ he doesn't bother masking his anger ] Whether the experience was an illusion or not, the pain felt is still real.
Was it again, for the same reason?

[ 🥲
he shifts her a little closer still, so that she can lean against him ]
I truly am sorry that you were made to experience such a thing. Your mother... I am sure there was more to your life with her than these heartbreaks.
no subject
[ time has its way. ]
Time will make these new wounds fade.
no subject
[ still, he tilts his head ]
I would be glad to hear of the other memories, if you are willing to share.
no subject
[ it is a sign she knows of her mother's love. ]

That is a lovely reason for a name. What was her name?
