>Resume reading if we feel it's appropriate.

> "... This doesn't have to be like this..." Sakura looks at the desk. "... She... She must be there..." Her expression starts to show how she's trying not to break in cry. "... when I open the door... Every morning... and she always looked at me... and said... ..." Sakura is trying even harder to not break up. "... ... "Good morning, mother..." ..."

Daiko:

>Look a bit sad.
>Shake our head.

> You shake your head as you express sadness.
> "... It was many, many time ago, before you even where in her mind... Like... more than a hundred of years ago...?" Sakura nods slowly. "Himiko was with someone... and she ended pregnant... and she was so happy ... The months passed away and, unfortunely, something bad happened when the baby was in the belly... and there wasn't another option but abortion... The baby was dead by the moment they removed her..." Sakura wipes her tears. "... Her name... was going to be Mikoto..."

[Tashi]

Daiko:

>Look down a bit and start to tear up over the situations our family has been through, even now.
