"You saw the future," Valentina said, turning her face. He could see her side profile and that dull, pure white eye.
Godfrey's heart fell. He didn't want this to be his origin; this was the nightmare he couldn't even fathom… to have the mana tree as his mother.
She sighed. "Is that hate or fear I sense from you?"
Godfrey said nothing.
Valentina stood up. "Can we go on a stroll?" She began to walk. He stared at her for a minute before joining her.
"I know everything you're going to say. There's no need for you to speak, just bring my mother back," he said.
"But I am your mother," Valentina replied. "I created this body just to give birth to you. I can decide to dispose of it whenever I desire. Won't you appreciate me staying here to watch you grow?"
Godfrey clenched his teeth as he could barely hide his glare. Watch him grow or keep a close eye on him?
