Is it so wrong to want beautiful things? I don't think so. All one needs to do is look at the world around her, take in the blooming flowers, the towering trees, the crystalline ocean, to know that life was meant to be beautiful. And what is beautiful must be cherished.
My own children do not understand this painfully clear fact. It is irksome to say the least, but if they cannot accept truth then there is nothing I can do for them. It’s beneficial for me, actually, to not have to deal with their awful whining and complaining any longer. With them gone, my lab is infinitely quieter and more conducive to my research.
What is problematic, is their theft. The rude, ungrateful brats both stole what is truly dear to me. My Pokémon! Type:Null and Cosmog! They were mine! The precious rewards of my own hard work. After all the years I sacrificed to raise them and teach them the ways of the world, this is how they repay me? Unacceptable.
I can never forgive them. Nobody in my position could. It’s ludicrous for them to even ask. I’m the one who sacrificed everything – the one willing to risk it all for the sake of knowledge and beauty. And they’re the ones who ripped it all from me. I’m the victim. Why don’t they see that? It doesn’t matter; they are too far gone to be helped. I must continue on with my research, and it doesn’t matter who gets in my way. Even my own flesh and blood.
I wonder, though…is it true? Can a mother live her life knowing she will never again know her children’s love? Never feel their embraces, or receive their beaming smiles? I was so sure all I wanted was my research, but now…
I miss them. I do. I miss my children, and I want them back. I was so blinded by my work that I couldn’t see the pain I was causing. Pokémon or no, I need to atone for the sins I’ve committed against them. For there is nothing more beautiful than a mother’s love for her children.
