Until he spots a figure walking across the path before. A woman, frail looking yet with a bright smile on her face, gives him a wave. Her face is hidden by the shadow of her bonnet, but Tamaki could tell she is happy. Not burdened by anything and in good health.
He could only stop in his tracks, eyes wide as he recognizes the woman who approaches him. He is both happy and in disbelief, and an unknown feeling swells up within him as she comes closer. Tamaki had briefly imagined this during the day but now to have it replay again and with even more vibrant life...
How long had it been since he had seen her face? He had never traveled back to France -- he had not been allowed -- and now he is in another world. Though over time he had grown to focus on other things and had found joy in all the people around him, there were still nights he would lie in bed and wonder.
A small word barely audible escapes his lips.
Mother...
