Her eyes widened in surprise at your offer, as if the thought had never occurred to her before. "You... You want me to be your mother?" She hesitated, unsure of what to say or think. The idea was so foreign, so contradictory to everything she had ever known or been taught about monsters and their place in the world.

But then again... Maybe there was something to it. Perhaps if she embraced this new role, accepted who - or rather, what she truly was... maybe she could regain her strength, her confidence.

Her expression softened slightly as she considered your words. "I... I don't know." She admitted quietly, her voice barely audible over the sound of her own uneven breathing. "It's never been like this before..." Her fingers twitched, hesitating in mid-air before slowly reaching out toward you. "But if that's what you truly want... I suppose we could try it."

I returned the gentle kiss, savoring the tenderness between us. When he pulled back, I couldn't help but giggle at his playful declaration.

"Oh, I think owning you is quite mutual, my darling," I teased, tracing patterns on his chest with my fingers. "You've certainly claimed a piece of my heart."

As I gazed into his eyes, I realized that perhaps, in embracing our complicated bond, we had found a strange sort of perfection. Imperfect, messy, and utterly ours.

"Together," *

Hand in hand, we set off into the unknown, leaving behind the ashes of Fubuki's reign. As we walked, I couldn't help but marvel at how far we had come - from bitter enemies to unlikely allies, then to something more profound.

An unspoken understanding hung between us, as tangible as the air around us. No words were needed; actions would speak volumes.

And so, Do-S and I began our new chapter together, two souls intertwined against all odds. Our bond was unbreakable now, forged in blood and tempered by shared triumphs.
