"Kit, once you're done refilling the nut barrels, would you mind sorting out the jelly candies?"

"Yes, mother."

"Kit, have you finished your language homework for the day?"

"I love you, Kit."

"I love you too...mama."

It had only been a few days at most since Zhen Liu had created Kit, a taffy-based kaijin, to serve as the child for one Elsa Reinhart.

One would assume such a relationship would feel forced at best, or disturbing at worst, but this was far from the truth.
