“Are you sure, Darling?
It hurts my heart a little … but you’ve always been like this. There’s just something about you …. You look just like me. You are just as determined as your brothers. But that burning passion is yours alone.
Oh my! That is so attractive! Aren’t you just the perfect premium package of hot delight? All the gentlemen and ladies surely can’t leave you alone! Mmm…!
What do you mean? That wouldn’t make you happy? But, honey-chan, we all need somebody to love! To love and be loved truly … is that not the greatest gift? Free love is my forte, of course … but that’s me. You’ll find your own tune, and that’s what your heart will dance to!
The important thing is: love is the very meaning of life, the fire that fuels the heart and soul. You’ll learn this someday, my child … then you’ll understand. You may think it’s all pointless …. You may think it is just a waste …. But … someday, you’ll fall in love … and you’ll cherish every moment of it, no matter how fleeting you think it might be. I just hope there is still time for it … or perhaps I should say, I just hope you can find it in you to allow yourself … to take that chance.
Sometimes, I have to wonder …. I admire how you hold back, Wolf, even as you are in the prime of your youth. But that’s not it, is it? It’s more like … you never even bothered unveiling the window to look into the garden of love.
Or perhaps I’m getting this all wrong? Oooh! Maybe there is already someone?! Oh my … you need to tell your Mother all about it! Huh? No? Not at all? What a shame…! Ah, boys these days! I can’t understand what they’re thinking!
Ah, but I simply cannot wait for my Little Sugar Doll to finally fall in love! That time will come, Honey-chan! You’ll see! And then it will be just like I said! Even if others say you’re just stubborn, but you’re really such a passionate young man. I just know your love story is going to be absolutely epic!
Oh, what’s the matter, Honey-Chan? Why did my Little Darling yell out ‘Mother!’ like that? Why, look at you, all squirming so cutely! Aww, just a little teasing from your Mother has got you all embarrassed like that! But my Wolf is so adorable when he’s all flustered, I just can’t help myself!
Ah, but my little boys grow up so fast! And they distance themselves from their Mother too soon …. How sad…!
Hmm? What’s that, Honey-chan? You say you’d never distance yourself from me? Is that so…? Oh, Wolf! But … you’ve always been so sweet!
Well, back to that matter …
You are certain? All right, then. If you’re sure about that … if you’ve made your decision …
Then, Honey-chan, your Mother will make it happen! Anything for my Little Sugar Doll!!!”

“You know, Yuu-chan, Mama is getting worried …
Yes, Mama is worried about how you are spending the springtime of your life, Yuu-chan!
What’s that? You can’t think about springtime when we’re still in winter? Well, don’t you find it kind of weird? What’s weird, you ask?
Well, yesterday was that very special day everyone’s always so excited about, you know … it’s Valentine’s, Yuu-chan, Valentine’s Day! But Yuu-chan wasn’t in the least excited! That’s unacceptable for a soon-to-be high school boy, and a super good-looking one at that! Every teenager should at least get a little embarrassed over Valentine’s! Not only that, the only chocolates Yuu-chan got are from Mama! And here I was, super excited to help my cute son make chocolates to return on White Day! Mama is a little disappointed…!
But, that’s not all, Yuu-chan. Like I said, this is the springtime of your youth, you know — springtime is supposed to be full of vigour an enthusiasm! And this is the springtime that is Yuu-chan’s Sweet Sixteen, too!
Hmm? Yes, well, even though Yuu-chan will only turn sixteen this summer, who is to say you can’t start celebrating from now? The early bird catches the love, you know! That’s why they’re called lovebirds! Right, Yuu-chan? Huh? They’re supposed to be worms? Well, loveworm works, too! That’s very cute, don’t you think? Well, bring it on! Mama declares Yuu-chan is celebrating his Sweet Sixteen from now on, until at least the spring after Yuu-chan turns seventeen, or even eighteen. Who cares if Yuu-chan celebrates the springtime of life until he’s old and grey and several centuries old? Like Mama, you see, still celebrating her youth in her forties now! Well, I’ve always believed that you should be celebrating life, all life long!
As Mama was saying, as much as you’ll always be Mama and Papa’s Sweet Little Baby Boy, a handsome young man like Yuu-chan should be out there, enjoying life to the fullest! Not just lounging at home, watching baseball on television! Eh? That’s right, Yuu-chan goes out to watch them play live at the stadium, too — but Yuu-chan is always going by his lonesome! That’s not the same as going out with friends, or even going there to watch a game with a group of friends! It’s good that you are passionate about something — and if that something is baseball, then Mama is going to cheer you on with no complaints. But Yuu-chan doesn’t even play anymore — not since before the start of last summer!
Aww, don’t be sad, my Little Yuu-chan! If you don’t think you are ready to play baseball again, then how about trying out something else? Weren’t you considering kendo? Or maybe … why not try fencing, like Mama? If so, we can be a super power team, Yuu-chan and Mama! Wouldn’t that be adorable?
Ah, but Yuu-chan still hasn’t pick up any pastimes, even though you keep saying you’re considering. What? You’re waiting to start high school before picking anything up? But that’s nearly a couple of months to go! Yuu-chan, you shouldn’t be wasting even a single moment of this precious springtime of your youth! You should be picking up the joys of life at every opportunity! Not a moment to lose!
Just as you should be picking up girls and getting yourself a girlfriend — but, of course, if it’s a guy, Mama would absolutely love that too! Hah…! Just think about it … my Little Yuu-chan bringing home a super hot boyfriend…! Mama can see stars sparkling! Ah, why are you getting so uncomfortable, Yuu-chan?
Love is love, Yuu-chan, love is love!
Well, if you won’t jump right in, you’re going to need a little push!
Ah! And Mama knows just the right thing for it! Don’t you worry, Yuu-chan! Mama will make it happen! Anything for my Sweet Little Yuu-chan!!!”
