LRAB Chapter 873 Identity Transformation
Chapter 873 Identity Transformation
"I am a little tired. I need to rest in a little while. I don't know why, but my life is always... so tiring..." Norinshi did feel increasingly tired, but unfortunately, everything was normal, and it wasn't a big problem, probably...
“Mom…” Bruno was at a loss for what to do. According to humans, it seemed to be simply due to the fatigue that comes with old age… But can creatures that can live almost forever also get sleepy due to aging?
Although Mom can't live forever, her life has only just begun. Although we don't know how long she will live, judging by the normal human life cycle, she doesn't seem to be getting old and should live for another four or five hundred years...
"It's okay, my child, it's not a big deal. I've just been feeling a bit overly tired lately, which is perfectly normal. It's not even as bad as the cookies I eat every day..." Just like that, looking at her child gently, she knew that as long as the child knew what to do and what not to do, her duties as a mother were already fulfilled.
A mother should teach her child what autonomy, independence, strength, and weakness are, what she should and shouldn't do. To be honest, although she is the mother, it is actually the whole family that should teach her child these things, because her child doesn't have a father, so she has to teach him everything herself.
"To be honest, I quite like it... How should I put it? It's the same feeling I have when I see my mother. Once she leaves, I keep thinking about when she will come back to me. Once she leaves, I feel like my heart is being eaten away by insects, breaking apart little by little..."
It's like my heart is being slowly tortured. Is this feeling called nostalgia, sadness, or reluctance to let go?
How should we respond to these special emotions?
"So if the other person isn't around, do you feel a similar sense of unease?"
"Yes, although it doesn't compare to how I felt when my mother left me, it still feels like my heart is breaking into pieces..."
"Hmm... If you feel that the other person makes you feel comfortable and happy, then go for it... Mom hasn't had much experience with relationships either. After all, in Mom's memory, feelings, which are hard to come by, can just mysteriously disappear forever..."
So no matter what, please understand that this kind of feeling is hard-won and cherish it, otherwise, if it really disappears forever one day, it will be too late to regret it...
"Hmm, I understand. Speaking of which, those kids have been getting more and more disobedient lately. How did Mom put up with them before?" Those kids are very disobedient and annoying. The kids, who have only been in charge of Mom's business for two or three years, still don't quite understand.
"Becoming increasingly disobedient? In what ways?"
"...They never pay attention in class, and they always gather together to discuss things for no apparent reason, but it's never really useful..."
Bruno Linch kept rambling on, saying that these things were all normal, especially for children, but his own child wasn't being treated like a child in the true sense.
"Do you understand? These are all normal for children. I know you may not understand, but I want to tell you that many things are normal for children because children are special lives. For many children, it is difficult to force them to cope with many things. It is normal for them to be somewhat indecisive."
There are no fundamental errors, and children's mistakes can be forgiven. Many children go from being strange to gradually becoming normal and perfectly normal.
"I don't quite understand. Is it because I'm different from everyone else? Is it because I'm not the same as everyone else that I feel something's not right?"
The child seemed distressed. To be honest, the fact that he could never be treated as a real human being is a distressing thing in itself.
"Don't worry about my child, it's normal. Many children are unsociable when they are young, and you are normal now. Really, you don't need to force yourself to be exactly like them. That's not what I want to see."
How painful it would be if children were forced to become exactly like those people, because children have beautiful eyes and a heart that sparkles like the spirit...
How painful it is, isn't it? How sorrowful...
You should be happy, my child.
"Mom, I've been thinking about the true meaning of life. I can't figure out what the real meaning is, or what a truly happy ending is. Can you tell me?"
"...When you do this, even if it's the same every day for a hundred years, you can still feel that initial joy, and that is your beautiful ending."
To do something the same way for a hundred years is incredibly difficult; how is that even possible?
How could that be... But what if? Just like there are always some variables in life, just like there are things you can do a thousand times and still like, just like my love for writing, even after so long, I'm still writing and it makes me feel happy...
"Then I'll think carefully about what could possibly be worth all this. Hmm, Mom, my mind feels like a jumbled mess. I've thought about so many things and met so many people, but nothing has eased my doubts even slightly..."
The older you get, the wider your understanding of the world becomes, and the narrower your understanding becomes; you also possess more and less.
To be honest, everything is relative. Just like you only realize the beauty of the world after you've experienced pain, this world is truly tragic...
"Miss Erdana..."
"You should now address her as Dean Erdana."
"Hmm... to be honest, I still can't quite accept the change in my identity. Every time I come to see you, I feel like time has flown by. That little child has grown up so much..."
“I understand, sister. I’m also having a hard time facing this change in identity…” Bruno Brienz didn’t quite understand how to deal with this shift in identity. It was like going from being a child who could cuddle in her mother’s arms to someone who couldn’t be too close to others, no matter how affectionate they were…
Just like in her mother's eyes, she is still that cute and gentle child who needs help, but she is no longer the child who can easily lie in her mother's arms and act spoiled.
