You know, going to my mothers funeral ,and seeing everyone there who truely loves her , makes me cry because she was amazing and my mom told me stories about how much fun she had and how much work she dif for thr gfC makes me laugh now ,because everyone always gave her a drive to do do better .

She told me how everyone pushed her into going to balls abd auch ,she used to say "shiki .. One day you will understand but sometimes the family drives me nuts. "and the way she said it she was happy and I'm glad she had a good life ,she never seemed to be in a dull moment my mother was always cheerful. 

I hope with my saying this that I feel my mother was a great example of a hard abd fun worker ,she always was willwilling to go that extra mile for people and helo them work hard and have fun , mom often told me that it's not where you come from, but what you do to make things better and just make a laugh on a day everyone is in a bad mood or what you can bring to the tables to to carry your own wait .

And now that I'm in this world ofouts I often think back on what she told me abd I think she was right.

~shiki wuped her eyes as she bowed yo the people ,as she started to talk way ,letting people think on the message~

Grendel strikes a match and lights a cigarette before taking a few puffs while listing to Shiki's speech. Once she finishes he follows up.

I'm sure your mother would be proud that her daughter is following in her footsteps, I hope at least you would be able to maintain the bonds that Novia created to help better yourself in this world as it seems having friends is everything.

TM tosses the cigarette out of his mouth before he smiles widely thinking of Novia a person whom he considered a close friend. Nostalgia filling him he cant help but speak to the young mafioso speaking out his friend

As you know Novia was a good friend of mine ill never forget the memories, I know you will do Novia proud in the time to come.

She looked back at them with a big smile laughing she shook her head .

"Yeah, I have big shoes to Gil ,welp, like my mom says nothing good like a healthy fun competition ,I will live up to her name ,and thank you for your spoken words. "

I know how this is, lost my mother when I was 10y so all my feelings goes over to you and I promise the life goes on no matter what
