You're young... like I said, I'd be worried if you didn't think about it. It's not easy when someone so important is missing from your life, you know? You said it yourself, after all! You deserve better than what you're getting.
[ There's a pause, as she thinks here. What to tell her...? ]
It's not much, but maybe I can help fill that gap a little bit. Even if it's only looking out for you and the others, I've always wanted to make sure kids like you have a good example to follow. Since my father was really dedicated to his job... but he couldn't balance his family life well because he was always away, corresponding on wars...
[ She looks pretty determined here, despite her smile. ]
Which is why one day I'm going to do what he couldn't; balance my work and a family. Of course I don't have one yet--I'm really married to my job!--but that's alright. I'm not looking. I'm pretty content with the family I have here, in you and in Tatsuya-kun and the others, too.
[ Here, she takes out a little handmade bunny. ]
Besides... if I was sad, then the bunny would just laugh at me! Hop, hop!
