Torajin: An Other 'Half' [Episode 150636]

by Kender

Kasumi was not someone who had a life that was really that prone to change, as life seemed to follow a rather predictable path, even with the oddities that popped up from time to time. It was only natural that when their mother left them, that she would take over the household chores. That was something that she felt rather comfortable in doing, and she liked helping out. Her mother had always been proud of her eldest daughter's ability to help others on a moment's notice.

Because of that, Mrs. Tendo had borne a bit more confidence that her family would be taken care of, even though she had to leave the planet herself.

Had she had a choice in the matter, she would have stayed with Soun and the children, but instead, she had to leave them, and hope that she could bear to miss them for their time apart.
