“I’m sincerely sorry I created such a miserable creature. That doesn’t excuse you at all, though. You have to learn how to behave. If not like a human, at least like a well mannered dog. Expectations aren’t high.” He wasn’t sure how much of that Sora understood, though he made the attempt anyway.

“You sound concerned, Rose.” Jade sat up and tried to understand what she was feeling. Did she receive multiple soulmates, or was she just anxious about getting her names? “I’ve never heard of such a thing happening, but I think that’s a pleasant thought, myself. Only someone with a great deal of love would be given multiple soulmates.”

“Syi! Stop running-!” He told them not to run with scissors a thousand times before, and yet, Syi still didn’t seem to understand. What did he mean by undo scissors anyway? What did he do? Jade swore to Lorelei these children were going to give him gray hairs. How could anyone do it?

“I already told you he’s not good for you. You saw that creature he made. It was thoughtless. Lukura took on the responsibility of a parent with no consideration for what it meant. He has never been responsible enough to handle himself, and he will certainly never be responsible enough to handle you or the hybrid.”

“Less than one, I believe. Er, what brought this up? Does this have anything to do with Celes?” He only half heard that rant from his father.

“If you receive another name, I am confident you will find your true love with them. And if you don’t, then the memories you have of your soulmate should be cherished forever, don’t you agree? There is no need to be sad, Rose. I know you will find joy in whatever fate decides for you.”

“I do not approve of this.”
