[Still on patrol, Tsubaki passes by the house that evening, tired and very much in need of a break. That's when she notices the beautiful garden, and just the sight of it seems invigorating somehow. Veering towards it to take a closer look, she notices Lab and Kirimi sleeping so peacefully together. They do look adorable. She smiles, but suddenly her heart grows heavy and stops her in her tracks. This feeling... is it...?]
Yes, his name is Robo-Ky and don't regret the choices I've made. But now I really understand what my mother meant when she warned me about what I'd be giving up to be with him.
Mn, have you ever thought of adoption? My children aren't actually biologically mine. You see, I am also unable to have children for... well, I have a husband.
...Actually I haven't. I always thought that it would be strange to be responsible for a child that wasn't really mine - that there would just be something missing.
You've... never felt that way with yours? [She looks wary, but hopeful.]
Well, my husband and I have always been very fond of children. I've raised all three of my children since they were babies, only a few months old and I've always loved them as if they were my very own. My husband does as well. He's extremely protective and loving of them especially of our daughters.
I don't really feel like anything is missing. I just felt a strong connection to them the moment I laid eyes on them.
That's... that's beautiful. [Heh, in all honesty she knows that Robo-Ky would be a terrible father, but Labrador's story is still inspiring. Maybe... maybe something like that could work for her, too.]
Now if only I had the courage to try discussing an option like that with him...

Here you go. I hope it's to your liking.

About earlier, I'm sorry for acting so strangely. An odd sense of sorrow just came over me all of a sudden...

An odd sense of sorrow? ... from seeing me and my child?

I... I can't have a child, you see.
