Young Sachiko! Young Rin! Flashbacks within flashbacks? Sure, why not!
[Rin gets up]
Rin: Sachiko, I understand your feelings. But know that you can, in fact, be who you want to be. You have been on that journey for a while now!
I originally never wanted to train you. I did not want to force a "family custom" onto my children...
But then you found out and begged me constantly. You wanted to learn, you wanted to be just like me.
And even after we started training, even after it became more difficult, you told me not to worry.
It was the same every day, every month, every year.
"I'm okay, Maman! I've got this!"
Sometimes, it was very difficult to train you. It is not fun watching your daughter get hurt! But you insisted. It was not so much about being like me anymore. It was now to see how far you could go.
