"I am sorry… Allan… Faylen… Shade… Nepheline… I said hurtful things that I shouldn\'t had said… I know very well that you\'re working hard… And I ended shitting over all your efforts, as if… somehow, dying was better than escaping and surviving…" she cried. "I was just… I… Sorry…"

My mother sighed as she looked at Ninhursag while furrowing her eyebrows, she was pissed.

However, she slowly approached her and hugged her as well, and patted her back.

My mother has lived for hundreds of years, if she didn\'t had an enormous patience, I don\'t know how she had lived for so long.

At the end, it feels as if we were all children compared to her, and like children, we commit mistakes.

She petted Ninhursag\'s back and smiled back at her.

"It\'s okay, Ninhursag. I get it… I know what you\'ve gone through…" Said my mother. "I\'ve also felt that sometimes I just want to scream, that I sometimes want to cry… And that sometimes, even my own mind and my own rationality begins to slowly fall apart… Living for so long… Gives you that sort of feeling… And sometimes I also feel like I am lost, despite having done many things… You\'re not alone in this, and because of that… I want you to know that I am your friend, and I can be at your side, I can be someone you can speak to… if you ever need it."

"F-Faylen… Ahhh…" cried Ninhursag, as she hugged my mother back.

"Ugh… You\'re hugging me a bit too tightly… Agh…" muttered my mother, her small and fragile body was being tightly hugged by the muscular and big arms of Ninhursag, so it was obvious she was feeling a bit asphyxiated…

"I-I am sorry… I sometimes cannot calculate well my strength." Said Ninhursag, as she thanked my mother. "I am thankful for having someone like you at my side, Faylen. You\'re someone truly admirable."

"Aw, come on… After saying those awful things you\'re now praising me?" Sighed my mother while pouting. "It is working…"

"Hahah…" laughed Ninhursag. As she felt the hand of Nepheline patting her back.

"N-Nepheline… I…" she muttered.

"No, don\'t worry about it. You don\'t have to apologize to me, friend. I was too rough on ya. I shouldn\'t had screamed first." Said Nepheline. "Can you forgive me?"

"Eh? O-Of course…" said Ninhursag. She looked at Nepheline with a sweet smile. "We have been together since we were children… I always felt alone, even though I never truly was alone… I am… I feel stupid for just realizing that now."

Nepheline smiled as she giggled a bit.

"Yeah, you\'re a bit stupid sometimes. We have to admit it…" she said. "But… You\'re also a nice person deep down… I know you are. What you said earlier… That wasn\'t you, it was just your rage… I know you\'re not that kind of person."

Ninhursag began to cry even more than before, as the rivers of tears continued to flow from her eyes…

"N-Nephy… You know me too well…" she cried, as Nepheline held her in her chest and caressed her hair.

"There, there, Nin… Calm down now… Everything is alright, okay? No more drama." Said Nepheline.

Shade and my father, Allan, crossed their arms while nodding at the side. Ninhursag wanted to apologize to the, but they stopped her.

"Don\'t apologize, don\'t worry." Said my father. "Like Nepheline said, we know that was not you."

"Yeah." Said Shade. "Ninhursag, I know you since I moved here, it might not be as long as Nepheline knows you, but I think I\'ve figured out that you\'re a good person too. I have a sharp eye for that, it is one of the abilities that my daughter inherited from me after all."

It seems that the ability that Aquarina had to discern a person\'s intentions were from her own father… Incredible, I thought they were unique, but Shade seems to have a version of it, although it might appear to be a weaker version, it still helps him in seeing the true nature of people as he knows them better over time, instead of Aquarina\'s almost instant deciphering.

"Thank you for understanding me, Shade, you\'re really a good friend, you\'re someone very nice…" cried Ninhursag. "You too, Allan… I am glad that you\'re also… my friends."

"Hahaha! Come on! Don\'t say that or you\'re making me blush!" Laughed my father. "Though… there is somebody else that kind of wants an explanation of why you went a bit weird there…"

Behind my father, Zack emerged, walking towards Ninhursag.

"Z-Zack!" said Ninhursag, as she ran towards him and hugged the boy.

Zack looked at Ninhursag as his eyes for the second time since I met him began to cry.

"N-Nin… Do you really meant it?" he asked. "Do you want to die that badly for the forest?"

"N-No… I… I am stupid… I am just an idiot…" she sighed, as she began to caress Zack\'s hair and then kissed his cheeks and forehead. "Dear… I… I just realized that I was just talking nonsense… It\'s just that… I have not been able to fully get over my family passing away yet… I sometimes… in the heat of the moment, end up saying stupid things… But I really… I want to live… and see you slowly grow up."

"Really?" he asked.

"Yes, really… I… It was me… You remember, right?" she asked. "I always looked over you when you were a little child that escaped into the woods because of your parents… lost…"

"So it was you… All those animals that watched over me… The food sometimes I found…" said Zack. "It was really you!"

"Yeah…" said Ninhursag. "I just couldn\'t bring myself to see a child suffering so much…"
