Summary
Hana Ouma's mother often looked like she was mourning something.
It was something about her smile. She smiled like she was being hunted, that tired pallor of her skin. Sometimes sharp, sometimes bitter, sometimes tired—she smiled like she was losing a war.
It was not the smile of a winner. It was the smile of someone who had lost, over and over, and was wondering why they continued to fight. But sometimes, when it caught on Hana's youth-bitten innocence, it softened into something infinitely sadder.
She was—maybe not a perfect mother, but a loving one. And Hana loved her, to the depth of her soul, her sad smile she wore like a shield, like an armor, sharp on her face like a knife, a preemptive self defense, that smile that only softened around Hana herself. She loved her, but that love was not enough to save her.
Kokichi Tsumiki smiles the exact way she did.
