"...Saint Beatriz, you seem radiant," an employee compliments me with a smile as she sees me walking down the hallway to the area where I heal people.
"Thank you," I respond with a smile. I am truly very happy; Shizune is fulfilling many of my childhood dreams, some that I had even forgotten about.
There is no way I cannot be happy. I know she is a bit embarrassed to be my mother, but she still does it genuinely, and that is what matters.
I myself know how strange it is for an 18-year-old girl like me to treat her as a mother when we have only known each other for about a month and a few days, but I feel that she is special to me.
She is a gift from God for my lonely years of efforts that were never properly recognized. I have been healing people since I was 12, and the complaints and lack of recognition were frequent.
