“Our baby, our beautiful baby. Crescent, who shines like the crescent moon. I love you, my darling...”

Smooch.

My mother’s lips gently brushed against the tip of my nose.

Wrapped snugly in a soft swaddle, I was nestled in her arms, breathing softly in my sleep. Watching me, her whole body seemed to tremble with affection, as if she couldn’t contain how much she adored me.

“Ah! Even your little nose looks like a cherry! It’s like I’ve been given the most priceless treasure chest in the world,” she murmured in awe, hugging me even tighter.

Still, it didn’t seem enough for her. She began kissing my head, my forehead, and the bridge of my nose in a flurry of affection.

“Crescent, you’re the most precious treasure in the world. No matter how much I look at you, I still want to see you more. Even the time spent sleeping feels like a waste—I just want to keep looking at you and loving you, my baby.”

Smooch.

Once more, she pressed her lips to the top of my head, then smiled softly as she gazed down at my face.

“You’re so beautiful. So incredibly beautiful that it’s driving me crazy. Every morning when I wake up and see you beside me, I’m overwhelmed with happiness...”@@novelbin@@

How could she have loved me so much…?

And yet, why isn’t she by my side now?

She left her family, her house, everything, all because of me.

And not long after, she’d leave both me and my father too.
