The atmosphere in the room felt horrendous. It was like the epitome of discomfort. Miu and I were sitting across from each other at the kitchen table, but we were both avoiding making eye contact with each other.

“Well, so...yeah. Taku invited me here, and I secretly came to Tokyo. Since it’s your birthday tomorrow, he wanted the three of us to spend it together.”

“I-I see...”

“I wanted to give you guys your space, but Taku said it would be better if I was here too. He wanted to surprise you, so he told me not to tell you.”

“I-Is that so...?”

“Also, Taku is out right now because you’re out of salad dressing. He went to go buy some.”

“O-Okay...”

We were both hanging our heads as the awkward conversation went on. At the very least, I now knew why Miu was here. It seemed to be something Takkun had planned—a birthday surprise for me.

I guess he thought it was best for Miu to be with me for my birthday. He probably thought I wanted all of us to spend it together—how very like him. But Takkun... I want to say just one thing. I know it’s not your fault, but can I just say one thing? Why in the world did you have to go and do that, huh?!

After Miu had explained the gist of things, neither of us said another word. This is rough. It’s so awkward that I feel like I might throw up. How did this happen?! Could things be any worse?! This is the most humiliating mistake I’ve ever made in my entire life! I can’t believe my daughter saw me like that! I want to die... I’m so humiliated I could die. How am I supposed to parent her after she saw me like that?”

“Um, Mom...?” Miu began at last, perhaps unable to bear the silence. “N-No matter what happens, you’ll always be my mom.” She smiled at me...and it was so forced I felt like I could hear her muscles straining.

“Don’t look at me like that!” She’s doing her best to be considerate! She’s trying to be as kind as she can to me!

“I-It’s okay...” Miu continued. “I’ll forget everything I saw today. Yeah... I’ll pretend I never saw it. We’ll be able to keep having a normal parent and child relationship on the surface, for sure.”

“What do you mean by ‘on the surface’?!” So our relationship’s not actually fine?! We can’t return to what we had before?! Was it really so bad that everything we’ve built up in the past decade was reset?! “Urgh, don’t force yourself to be nice to me, Miu... You should tease me, bully me... Make fun of me and laugh at me like you always do...”

“No way... That was too much, even for me. I can’t even pretend to find it funny.” Miu’s forced smile gave way to a look of deep disappointment. “I don’t know how to process seeing my mother do something so shameful...”

“‘Sh-Shameful’?”

“Like, if anyone gets to cry about this, it’d be me.
