Chapter 23 Cleaning My Room

• If there's one thing I must acknowledge, it's that my mother is showing a lot of patience in dealing with me, and that makes me feel somewhat at ease. The rude woman is no longer there, nor the impulsive one who hit me yesterday, instead, there's the gentle mother who always spoiled me when I was little.
• As she requested, I take the first step of picking up the glove and start soaping myself. Although I know that doesn't solve what's troubling me, at least I'm doing something different instead of wallowing in my own misery.
• My mother claps a little and steps out of the shower to watch me from outside, thanks to the transparent walls. Soon after, I start preparing everything for my outing while taking my time to soap myself all over.
