I stumble my way across the busy streets to make it to my destination. A huge mansion that shimmers in gold! Well, not really. You don’t know how long it took me and Eren to paint all this for Heather. Her payment wasn’t even with money and just homemade cookies (which were 100% worth it). I ring the doorbell and wait for an answer, until some blond haired girl opens the door. “Oh! Mister Kingsman!” She yelled, hugging me tightly. Oh right… Topaz! This girl was from the kingdom Numbaria when Violet got stolen from some demon guy. She also knew my dad for some reason, and she has interpreted my dad as me, hence the professional mannerisms towards me. Well as professional as she can get… After the events she became one of Heather’s servants. “Come!” she says happily, “Lady Heather is waiting for you!” I walk inside, following her to the garden. There, I heard a loud scream as a poor pink haired girl shuddered in fear from a bee. Her name was Linda, a girl who was a part of an organization that tried to kill me. Well she was more of a secretary.
“GET IT AWAY GET IT AWAY!” She screamed as she tried her best not to move. A red haired little girl walks up and waves the bee away for her. Oh Jewel looks way better than she did before… Like Topaz, she was wrapped up in Numbaria and, if I remember correctly, was possessed by Angel’s ex? Long story, I rather not dive into the details. She turns to me and runs up happily.
“Uncle Kingsman! Heather is over there!” She says pointing to two girls. One of them had two different hair colors and a weird mish mash of clothes… Quinn was their name, and I don’t really know much about them. All we do together is work out together from time to time… and then there’s Heather. My second best friend other than Eren. The once bratty and annoying girl became one of my closest allies. I walked up to her and she immediately slapped me in the face.
“Matt! How could you!” she says angrily at me. “You missed Jewel’s birthday party!”
“Aw come on mom, It was fine! I’m sure he was busy!” Jewel says speaking up for me. Heather was still a little mad as she crossed her arm and put a fan over her face.
“Well then you must have some good reason to miss out!” …I guess I have to tell her.
“Ophelia was attacked today…” I say with shame in my voice. Heather suddenly puts down her fan as her face has changed to a somber expression.

“O-oh dear I’m… I’m so sorry.” She says with hesitant eyes… She looks at the back of the door and she holds a finger out. “L-let me get you something… I’ll be right back!” She says running off with Jewel, Topaz, and Quinn. Linda didn’t stop staring at me as I looked at the flowers in the garden. They were very pretty and well taken care of…
“M-mister Kingsman?” I hear Linda speak. She kept stuttering so it was hard to make out most of the words but I tried my best to respond. “Who i-is this person…? O-ophelia, right?” I nodded and decided there was no harm in telling her.
“She was… like a mother to me. When there was no place for me to go, her place was like a safe haven. A place where the bad stuff couldn’t get to you.” Linda looked down in deep thought before looking back up at me with an expression I’ve never seen on her. The once fragile little girl had a look of calmness on her face as she spoke.
“I had a mom too… She was wonderful. She would always make pancakes for me whenever I complained, and me and my sister would always fight to see who could get the last one. My mom would always try to stop me from doing bad things, but I would always go out and defy her orders… and then… CTRL happened… and the nukes were set off. She put us in a bunker underneath the house and said the last words I’ll ever hear from her” she pauses and takes a deep breath as she closes her eyes. “‘I’m sorry I caused so much dismay in you, I’m sorry you weren’t happier… But I’m glad to have been your mother, I’m glad to have given the two of you life… Thank you so much for the life you’ve given me.’” I can hear her trying not to cry as she recounts the last moments… She opens her eyes, letting the tears flow down on her face. “I’m… I’m not really the best person to get advice from but… from a person who lost their mother before… take good care of the people around you. If their time is up and you’re clinging to their cold body, no matter how much you pray or apologize, it’s too late… Everyone dies someday… no one is above that. Not you. Not me. Not my mother… So do it before it happens… It doesn’t have to be some grand gesture, or some huge elaborate scheme. If you love someone, let them know. We all go through the same struggles, but we should be able to get them back up with the same love and kindness as well. I’m sure you have something precious you can share with everyone…” She sighs and looks back up at me. “Thats all I wanted to say.”

I take what she had to say into consideration and nod.
“Thank you, Linda. That made me feel better.” I say smiling and then holding my hand up. “That was good advice! You should do this more often!” Linda suddenly goes pale and starts shaking her head frantically.
“Huh?! No no no no no! I’m not that good! I-I’m only good at teaching people math a-and stuff!” She’s back to her usual self again. Suddenly I feel Jewel tugging my jacket to get my attention.
“I made you a card! I used glitter and stuff so it sort of got everywhere… sorry…” I sigh. Sometimes I forget she’s 14 when she acts like this, but I don’t blame her. I open the card and it’s a poorly drawn image of me and Jewel with the words ‘best uncle ever’. I put the card in my pocket and patted her on the head.
“Hey! Good job! This could make it to a museum!” I said as she hugged me tightly. Heather also came back with Quinn, who was holding up cookies on a plate.
“Hey! Matty boy! Lady Heather made us cookies! Let's go inside to catch up!” They yelled happily. I stared at them for a bit before walking inside with them, talking, laughing, just having a good time. Soon enough, it was time to leave. I waved goodbye to Heather and the others and decided what to do next…
