“Mas…”

I could not finish saying both syllables of the word Master.

My heart was pounding.

There was a mixture of many emotions churning inside me at the moment. My heart had become a rag, and if I twisted it, all of my dark feelings would seep out.

Master. My strange destiny. The peony who had become my teacher.

“Mother.”

“……”

Master looked at me. Her eyes, always orderly, were shaking. It was the first time I had called Master my mother, and it was Master’s first time being called Mother by me.

“…How strange.”

Master put down her pencil stub. Had she been working on her manuscript? Papers with Master’s handwriting lined the living room table.
