You've Been Having a Really Long Dream

Truth? What was... the truth?

Reo didn't understand.

"You can't remember the last time that you saw your real mother Hinako Tachibana because you intentionally forgot.

"You can't remember the real appearance of the 'mother' that accompanied you here for so long because you never truly looked at her for who she was."

Seiji talked to Reo using the gentlest—yet serious—tone he could.

"You're dreaming, Reo-chan. This is your dream world, not reality. You've been having a really long dream."

Reo didn't know what to say.

She heard what Brother Harano said to her, but she didn't understand.

'I'm dreaming? How is that possible...'

"In this dream, you believed that your mother Hinako Tachibana was still alive and treated another person as your mother. Even if she told things to you herself, you couldn't accept it.

"You treated her as your mother, but you didn't actually listen to her at all or see her for who she truly was.
