[ hinami didn't go to school today. she couldn't bring herself to. even just waking up was a trial she hadn't wanted to face, even though it was inevitable. ]

I was going to ask what they did in other worlds to  [ mourn ]  honor loved ones, but it wouldn't feel right even if I tried them.

So I was just wondering what everyone else's mother's were like?


My mother was a wonderful woman. She was very kind, and always smiled even when things were hard.

Even though I couldn't go to school, and she hadn't either, she taught me to read and write as much as she could. She'd look at my book every day and say "please do your best!". No matter how many times I messed up a kanji, she never got mad or frustrated.

She made most of my clothes by hand, made them like hers because she knew I liked it. Sometimes she even made them out of her own, even if she still loved wearing them. 

...I don't have any pictures of her or a family altar to burn incense and pray for her. So I wanted to remember the good things about her.

The way she held my hand even after people asked if I was too old for it, or made sure I was under the umbrella even if it meant she got rained on. Her and my father always seemed so happy together, even though he was always busy with work.

The days we could all three be together are my favorite. I don't want to ever forget those things, even if they're small.


[ she will still burn incense and pray, of course, but...it won't feel the same. especially not in a world where Ryoko Fueguchi never even existed.

maybe talking about her here is the only way to reaffirm she did at all. to know that someone beyond herself and Kaneki are aware she existed beyond a memory in an alley.

ooc: alternatives to mom's are absolutely fine!]

My mom is here, actually.

Her name is Bianca, and she's a nurse. And she's one of the best people I know. She's always been there for me through everything, no matter what. She's always worked hard for us, and she's never been afraid to stand up for what's right. I mean, she stands up for that louder than most people I know.
[BIANCA IS A TERRIFYING WOMAN.] I know I'm pretty lucky to have had her back home and I'm lucky to have her here too. It sounds like my mom and yours would have gotten along really well. I'm glad that you had her for even a little while, and that you're remembering in your own way. That's really important too! If you tell us, we can help you remember.

Anyway one of the things I love about my mom is that whenever anyone needs someone like that in their lives, I can always introduce her to my friends. I know it's helped before.

So if you want to be around people who understand, I figured I'd let you know we're holding a big Thanksgiving party later this month. If you want to come, you're invited. And you can bring your people too.


[And maybe meet his Mom. It helped Brenda; why wouldn't it help everyone else?]

I wouldn't have invited you if it wasn't.
