Asugi: Ah, mission accomplished. I got a ton of useful information tonight. Today's undercover work was riskier than usual. I almost got caught this time. "Almost" doesn't count though, heh heh. Time to share what I learned and go relax.
Kagero: You're back.
Asugi: M-Mom?! Shouldn't you be asleep? It's really late.
Kagero: I was up waiting for you.
Asugi: I'm fine, Mom. It's an early morning tomorrow. You should be asleep!
Kagero: Impossible. Not with you gone.
Asugi: Look, I get sent out on these recon trips because I'm good at them. We all risk our lives when we're out on our missions, and I'm no different.
Kagero: You are different. You go alone. When I think of all that might happen... The least I can do is stay awake to confirm your return.
Asugi: I told you, I'm fine. I do what I have to, and that's the end of it. If you stay up all night, you'll just be a liability to all of us tomorrow.
Kagero: Mm.
Asugi: Look, it's late. I'm exhausted. We should both get some rest.
Kagero: Yes...we should. Sleep well.

Asugi: I've successfully infiltrated the enemy base. Piece of cake! (Mmm...cake.) Now to scope out what the leaders here are up to. They've been acting suspicious. If I can just find some evidence that they're planning something...
Kagero: That looks like an officer's quarters. We'll start there.
Asugi: WHAA—?! What...? MOM?! What in the name of all that is sweet and holy are you doing here?
Kagero: I followed the trail you left. You really should be more careful.
Asugi: Wh-why would you follow me? This place is dangerous!
Kagero: Was I not clear? I get nervous about you when you're on solo missions.
Asugi: You shouldn't be here, Mom. This is MY mission, not yours!
Kagero: It's still your mission. I'm helping you carry it out, that's all.
Asugi: SHH! Be quiet!
Kagero: Don't you shush me!
Asugi: Not another word! The enemy patrol is heading this way...
Kagero: ...
Asugi: *sigh* OK, they're gone. Gods, my heart is racing. I was certain they'd spotted us.
Kagero: They wouldn't. I'd already checked the sight lines.
Asugi: Geez, Mom. I know parents like to bond with their kids, but this is overkill!
Kagero: Maybe a little bit. But it's a mother's duty to protect her young.
Asugi: Ugh, enough is enough. I can't think straight when you're here. This whole mission is a bust. Let's go.
Kagero: You're not serious.
Asugi: Come on, Mom. I know a shortcut back. It's time to go home.
Kagero: But the mission hasn't been completed. It's barely been started!
Asugi: It's over. Come on, let's hurry back.
Kagero: If we must.

Kagero: What's our mission tonight?
Asugi: ... WE are not going anywhere. You're not coming along.
Kagero: I beg to differ. These recon missions are too dangerous for a lone agent.
Asugi: Mom, you're being unreasonable. Don't you trust me?
Kagero: It is nothing to do with trust! It is simply good practice to work in pairs. In fact, as I am the more experienced ninja, maybe it's you who should be my second.
Asugi: We each have our own part to play in this war, Mom. I fulfill the roles that my training has prepared me for. When you follow me, it puts us both in very real danger. Instead of focusing on the mission, I can only think of protecting you.
Kagero: That is a problem. I'm just not sure how to reconcile it with my fears.
Asugi: ...
Kagero: What if a mission went awry and I was nowhere near to pull you out? These are exactly the thoughts that keep me up at night!
Asugi: Mom... Look, this is embarrassing, so I'm only going to say it once.
Kagero: Say what?
Asugi: When I got back from my mission that one night and I saw you waiting up for me... I was really happy.
Kagero: You were?
Asugi: I was. It made me realize that I had a real home to come back to. Knowing you're out there, waiting for me, makes me desperate to make it back home. No matter how much danger I'm in or what I have to do to make it back safely... I always will. I will always, always come back home to you.
Kagero: Asugi, I—
Asugi: That's why I need you to stay here. My home is wherever YOU are. I can't do what I do without knowing that I have a loving home waiting for me. As long as you're here, safe and happy, I'll never lose heart.
Kagero: ... I hadn't realized you felt that way. If that's the case, I won't interfere further. The least I can do as your mother is to grant you space to work.
Asugi: Mom... Thank you. You don't know what that means to me.
Kagero: From now on, instead of staying awake worrying, I'll stay awake cooking. That way, you'll have food waiting for you when you return. You like sweets, yes?
Asugi: That...would be AMAZING!
Kagero: Whatever I can do to ease your mind, dear. I only want what's best for you.
Asugi: Thanks, Mom. I love you too.
