The Tanakas:
15 years ago
A young girl with long green hair laid back on her bed, dawning headphones, sound leaking out as the muffled sounds of My Heroine could be heard coming from them. A 10 year old Akane Tanaka lazed in her room casually, despite the storm that was coming...Despite how loud the music was, the knocks on Akane's door were louder. Hopping off her bed, Akane opened her door to a furious 28 year old Inko Tanaka! "Akane! Why didn't you clean up the pieces of the plate you broke!?" Akane reeled from her mom yelling in her face. She knew she was guilty, but that didn't mean she would own up. "Because I didn't do it, obviously!" Inko scowled at her daughter's refusal to own up. "Don't you lie to me, young lady! No one else was in the house!" Akane was caught red-handed, but she wasn't owning up anytime soon. It was a tense moment for the mother and daughter, but Inko couldn't stay mad at her little girl.

Akane Tanaka strolled through the halls of her home and made her way to her room, only to find her mother angrily standing there, pack of cigarettes in hand. "What are THESE, young lady?!" Inko asked angrily, having caught Akane smoking. "I dunno! They're not mine!" Akane denied fruitlessly. Though, she had been caught smoking, Akane wasn't going to admit anything. "Don't lie to me, Akane! How are you going to be a singer if you ruin your lungs?!" Though, Inko was enraged, she grilled her daughter out of concern and love.

A greenette in her thirties strolled around her home, doing some cleaning when she came upon a broken vase. The young mother frowned, making her way to Akane's room. Opening the door, Inko spied her daughter in headphones. "Akane, you broke the vase didn't you?" Inko expected her daughter to deny it, as she always had when she did wrong. "Yeah, I broke it. Sorry, mom." Akane responded in a mopey tone. Inko was taken aback, simply accepting it "Alright, so long as you owned up." However, then Inko had a thought. "Where's Hana?" Akane broke eye contact suspiciously. "She's with Fuko." Akane lazed. Her daughter's words weren't trusted, but Inko nodded. "Alright." As their mother seemingly made her leave, Akane went over to her closet. "She's gone." A nervous, 7 year old Hana Tanaka emerged from the closet, sniffling. "T-thank you for taking the blame, Akane." The shy-gal whimpered as her elder sister embraced her. "No worries, sis." Akane replied, stroking her sister's hair. Unbeknownst to the Tanaka sisters, their mother remained just outside the room. Hizashi Tanaka rounded the corner, smiling at his wife. "That's our girls." Inko smiled back at her husband, proud of their daughters, despite their accidents. Making her way to the kitchen, Inko opened the freezer for a treat. "Girls! Ice-cream!" Both Tanaka sisters came rushing down the stairs together for a treat. "Hm? When did you get home, Hana?" Inko teased, playfully catching her daughters in their lie.
This mother's day
Inko Tanaka arrived at her home to find her daughters already inside, waiting for her. However, Akane was cleaning up some broken glass. "Hm? What happened here, girls?" The shy-gal blushed in an embarrassed fashion, but the black-haired Thorn just smiled. "I broke it mom." Hearing those words, Inko was reminded of simpler times, reminded of the fact, that she had raised two fine young ladies. "Speaking of broken stuff, finally found a replacement for that vase I broke." Akane quipped, giving their mother her first gift, as the Tanakas celebrated another mother's day. "The vase, YOU broke?" Inko responded as Hana made her way to the kitchen to grab the presents. "Heh, what can I say, mom? You raised us to look out for each other. You raised us right." With that, the mother and daughter embraced. "Happy mother's day!" Hana cheered as she returned with Inko's presents.
