The door to the living room opened as Torq hesitantly set foot within, noticing there was only one person inside. It was Eureur, his mother.
'Uh…' He shivered upon seeing Eureur express horror upon laying her gaze upon him, '...shit!'
"You're here, Boiboi." Eureur extended her hand towards Torq and beckoned for him to move closer to her, "Don't stand there."
"Come closer so that I can see your face better." She said in tranquil happiness, her expression truly one of joy.
"Yes…mother!" Torq stopped within arm's distance of Eureur and bowed slightly so that she could reach his face.
"You've…grown." Eureur uttered as she placed her palm on Torq's cheeks, "I can feel your growth. It's impressive, so much that I am terrified."
A layer of water covered her index finger as it dug into Torq's cheek, stopping only after reaching the tongue. Eureur seemed to have realised her actions as she hurriedly retracted her hand and gasped in fluster, "Y-You're not hurt, are you?"
