This drawing is left behind in Kiragi’s tent, as Kaltrina had to deal with a raid in a Hoshidan village. On the back, there’s some writing to accompany it. Kiragi,

I do wish I could’ve been a better mother by letting you grow up with us rather than sending you to a deeprealm. But even so, I treasure the days that we have now, even if at times I bore you to sleep with your lessons. Because I couldn’t ask for a more optimistic, intelligent, or talented child than you, and I hope you have a happy birthday. Kaltrina

* BIRTHDAY WISHES / ACCEPTING !

SETTING DOWN ALL OF HIS PRESENTS FOR THE DAY, the drawing of him finally catches his eye. it’s ironic, considering that he’s said to have the best vision in the entire army. he’s simply so caught up in all this birthday stuff, the presents, the food, the hair ruffles, that he cannot help but be distracted from a present that he felt heart in. he felt heart in hatsuyuki’s. in chiyo’s. but what ... oh.

    ❛ Mom ... ❜ his eyes are leaky, but he’s smiling. just like his mother had said in that letter. ❛ ... Ahah. I love you too. ❜
