[In the middle of the night, a message appears on the network, not from Crow, but from his Shadow, Hiro.]

I saw Margaret-san in the Velvet Room today.

It's not an unusual sight. She is, first and foremost, a Velvet Room attendant.

But back home, she hasn't been since the Velvet Room was compromised three years ago.


[Well, more than three, after all the time spent here, but that hardly counts.]

It's different when you miss someone who isn't here. I miss Dad every day, but there isn't a cognitive version of him here to pour salt in the wound.

I'm sure this Margaret-san is a kind person. She always has been, but she isn't the woman who slowly became a part of our family after being exiled from the Velvet Room.

Crow is doing a far better job coping. I suppose he isn't as fragile as me.

But also, it's strange seeing her as she was and not the woman who may very well become our stepmother at this rate.


[Make what you will of that.]
