Shiro: Hey, Mom. Do you feel like doing something today?
Rinkah: Hm? Why do you ask?
Shiro: Well, we didn't get to spend much time together when I was little, right? Maybe now we can make up for that with some mom-son bonding time.
Rinkah: Ah, so that's what this is about. What a kind thought. Honestly, I can't think of anything to do right now. I appreciate the sentiment though.
Shiro: How can we bond if you don't want to hang out? I mean, I can't spend time with Dad. He's always preoccupied with the war. I guess you don't see him much either. Has he ever given you a gift or anything? How do you know he really cares?
Rinkah: Shiro, that's not in Ryoma's nature.
Shiro: Well, unlike him, I want you to know how special you are, Mom. Come on. Please! Can't you think of something you would like to do?
Rinkah: Hahaha!
Shiro: Wh-why are you laughing at me?!
Rinkah: It's just that suddenly, you're so worried about your father... He wouldn't be happy if he heard you talking like this. All you need to know is that I'm happy to have married him. He treats me very well.
Shiro: Mom, are you sure? He's never even around to show you that he cares.
Rinkah: You may not know it, but the truth is that he loves me deeply... I can even prove it to you.
Shiro: I'd be curious to see your so-called proof. I'll hold you to your word, Mother.
Rinkah: It's a deal!

Rinkah: Shiro, can I talk to you for a moment?
Shiro: Ah, hey, Mom. Of course. Um, why are you holding those envelopes?
Rinkah: These are the proof I was telling you about.
Shiro: Let me take a guess. Love letters?
Rinkah: That's right. I've saved each and every one that he wrote to me. This is the first one I received. And this is the most recent.
Shiro: Wow... I had no idea that Dad was such a prolific writer.
Rinkah: He is. I knew he was diligent by nature, but even I was surprised at his commitment. He tells me about his feelings when we talk in person too. But I think writing allows him to explore his emotions in a deeper way. I really love that thoughtful side of him. You look surprised. Is this not quite what you were expecting?
Shiro: I've always thought of Dad as being stiff and formal. Maybe I've been wrong all along. Tell me, what does he write about?
Rinkah: D-don't be ridiculous! There's no way I could tell you that. Your dad wrote these just for me. They're private, Shiro.
Shiro: Now I'm even more curious! I suppose knowing how much you two care about each other will have to do.
Rinkah: I'm glad to hear you say that. You don't have to worry, Shiro. We love you, too.
Shiro: I-I know that! But thanks, Mom.
Rinkah: Heheheh. Of course.

Shiro: Hey, Mom! Do you have a minute to spare?
Rinkah: Oh, it's you, Shiro. Sure, what's up?
Shiro: Well, after you showed me Dad's letters, I started thinking... I thought maybe I'd try writing out my thoughts and feelings too. What it's like to be your son... Y'know, that kind of thing.
Rinkah: Really? I would love to read that!
Shiro: I don't know. Now it just doesn't seem good enough.
Rinkah: What do you say that?
Shiro: It's not very special if I'm just doing the same thing as Dad, right? That's why I've decided to treat you to a fancy meal too!
Rinkah: Wow. A meal, huh?
Shiro: Yeah. Whatever your heart desires. Or at least anything I can find in the forest. I can't get started until you tell me what you'd like to eat. Does anything in particular sound yummy to you?
Rinkah: Hmm, let me see... Can you give me some time to think it over? I'm not sure right now.
Shiro: OK. I guess it would be tough to think of something off the top of your head. Just let me know when you think of something. All right! Now I've got a leg up on Dad!
Rinkah: Shiro, this isn't a competition. There are winners or losers.
Shiro: I'd just feel like a failure as your son if I couldn't make you happy.
Rinkah: That's funny... I think your dad once said the same thing.
Shiro: He did?!
Rinkah: Yes. If I recall correctly... He said he would have failed me as a husband if I wasn't a happy wife. Heheh. You know what they say. Like father, like son.
Shiro: Damn! He always has the upper hand!
Rinkah: It's sweet that you treasure me, Shiro. I'm very lucky to be your mother.
