"Hotaru... what are you doing at the church?"
"Father I know you tell me I should stop coming and start talking to the people in the church I am in but you know they are not like you. You have had someone powerless here once. And they turned out great. Which is why I always count on you to help me but I don't know if they will."
"Hotaru you should trust other people more."
"I know Father I'm trying my best."
"Why don't you two have dinner with us? What's your name?"
Hotaru sits at the table
he smiled
"I'm sure you will!"
Hotaru looked at Maven. She saw Asta in her. Confident. Loud. Determined. Loud. Non-Giver-Upper. And loud. In other words the person she could never be
"You sound just like him..."
"Hotaru I was going to talk about that later."
Hotaru quickly stands up and bows
"I'm sorry Father. I shouldn't have spoken out like that."
"Hotaru that's okay. You didn't mean to."
Hotaru stops bowing she then sits down
"Thank you Father."
