According both the calendar and my memory from last year, it seems today is Mother's Day. A wonderful way to pay homage to those who gave birth to us, even if they aren't with us right now. Were it not for them, we wouldn't even be here today. I'm sure this applies not only to biological mothers, but virtually any mother figure in your life.

Now that a lot of this month's New Feathers have started getting settled, I hope to see the younger ones attending school soon. Participation isn't obligatory, of course. However, I find that the classes are always worthwhile. There isn't a day when I don't learn more interesting tidbits about other worlds. Of course, aside from students, we're also more than willing to accept new teachers at any time.

[If Gelda's housemate were to take a peek inside her room, he'd find her sitting on the bed, a faint smile tugging at her lips. She's looking at the Mother's Day card Chrome gave her last year.

And of course, anyone else is free to visit if they feel the need to bother her.]

Hmm. Can't say I've heard of it.

How does it work?

As I said, it's a bit of an homage towards your mother. One buys her a present, or makes one for her. Pick a bouquet of flowers or write her a card. Alternatively, simply spend some extra time with her. I'm afraid the library isn't all-knowing on the subject, so there might be other ways to handle this custom.

Considering most our mothers aren't in this village, though, I believe the best way to celebrate the holiday would be to take some time and commemorate her.

I see. That sounds pretty cool, though.

... I didn't know my real mom very well, in a manner of speaking. But there's someone-...

Hm, maybe I should do something nice for her.

I'm sure she would appreciate the gesture.

I hope she will!

Thanks for the information, by the way!

You're welcome, Genis.
