She didn't notice until a week later, on one of those nights when she crept into his bedroom to make sure he was really there; really home. He lay sprawled on top of the covers with no shirt, like any normal sleeping teenager.

Except in the moonlight she finally saw the white marks on his back, shoulders and sides, where the cure spells had worked mostly but not completely. Like hundreds of unfinished tic-tac-toe games across his skin.

She said nothing until the next morning, when he tromped down the stairs with his untouched smile. "What's for breakfast?"

She began to cry. His smile became a concerned frown. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," she gasped between sobs. "It's nothing."

I'd been thinking of trying this idea, with her noticing his scars, but well... I think you've definitely done it better than I ever could've.

DDD= Just. Wow. I think that'd make for... umm... Okay, thank you, I'm completely speechless. *hugs on Sora's mom*

How sad. D: Sora should hug his mother more (though he doesn't strike me as the typical aloof adolescent). I've also toyed with this idea, but you've expressed it marvelously, more eloquently than I could've. Well done! :3

That...was so sad...No one really writes anything about Soras family. You would think that his parents would've been scared as HELL that their son was gone and probably thought he was dead or something...I mean he was gone for years....people just forget about them.

So this was more than wonderful. <3

Arrghhhh. That's so sad. : ( And I understand how she can't say anything. How CAN she? I mean you KNOW Sora would definitely download how dangerous it really WAS out there, but his mum knows the truth now and that's just adding on to a list of things that just haunt her since her son went missing. T_T such a sad drabble. Lovely.
