... *Wow. Kohaku, you've just hit a sore spot for Rita.*

I wish that I knew...

[ Sorry, she didn't mean to. :( ]

If I find anything out, I'll let you know.

... Sorry.

I never knew my parents. They both died so early that I can't even remember their faces. So... It's not something I think about much, though.

I wouldn't have ever known what my mother looked like if I hadn't been able to see her in someone else's memory.

Is it necessary to?

[The Church had said that Ky should pray for her, and he had, but while he recognized the debt owed there he didn't actually know what to do about it. If there was anything necessary.]

I want to.

[ Even though she had never met her mother, she had grown up knowing how wonderful she was. ]

Ah. Could you try...speaking to her? Even if you can't visit a gravestone here, that sort of thing?

That actually sounds like a good idea ... I'm sure she would appreciate it.

What do you know about her, Kohaku? I do not speak of her history here. Her personality, her tastes... things like that.

I don't know a lot about her ...

She was ... very responsible. She looked out for everybody she cared about, and did what she could to make sure the right thing was done. That's about all I know.

[ The only glimpses she had really seen of her mother were in someone else's memories. Hisui had been the one to point out who their mother was, but even then, he had been about a year old when she died. She was had only just been born, though. ]

I see.

It sounds to me, then, like she would be honoured by the mere fact that you think of her. That you wish you had known more. More than that, that you are a good, strong person.

To a mother like yours, the fact that their child has grown up to be someone to be proud of the is the best thing of all. You honour her in this way, Kohaku.

You really think she would be proud of me, Mitsuhide?

You could honor what you know of her, if your family has told you anything of her. If not, consider paying homage to what you think a mother should be, and celebrating the life she gave to you. I know nothing of this holiday, though it seems straight forward... would honoring other mothers you may know personally be an option?

And take comfort in knowing that you have remembered her at all. I'm so very sorry for your loss, but I can tell you that a child's love and acknowledgment is one of the greatest gifts you can receive.

Thank you very much for your advice ... I think I will do that.

I don't know very many other people who are mothers, but I will be thinking of them as well today, for sure.

You're very kind to do so.

May I ask, where are you from, that has such a holiday? Others seem to celebrate it as well.

I actually only heard about this holiday and many others after arriving in this place. The world I live in has some of these holidays, but not all of them.

This is going to sound majorly sappy or something, but the best you can do is to just live healthy. Enjoy every day and try to make as many great memories as you can. In a way, you would be honoring her, right? [He was shifting from foot to foot, and rubbing the tip of his nose.] I kind of forgot all about this holiday. Guess a lot of people are without their moms, huh?

A lot more than I would have imagined, yeah.

I hope I'm doing a good job of honoring her as I am.

_{[hi there Kohaku. long time no see.]}

'Mother's Day'?

[ hey there sparring buddy! c: ]

Mother's Day.

Another pointless celebration, huh?

_{[yeah, that's all she has to say.]}
