"Yes, dear, what is it? You look like you've seen a ghost," her mother chuckled, continuing to stir her bowl, standing in the Order's kitchen as if she was at home.
Michiyo was barely even aware of Erin's presence, now that another had shocked her so. When the apparition actually responded to her call, she let out a strangled noise that was half-laugh, half-sob, and rushed forwards to bury herself in her mother's arms, who quickly moved her bowl to one hand to catch her daughter.
"Easy now," her mother admonished gently, giving her a pat on the back, "You're really acting odd, honey."
"You're here," Michiyo choked out in disbelief, looking up through brimming eyes while still clinging to her mother desperately, "You're really here..."
"Of course I'm here," the older woman laughed, "Where else would I be?" Frowning down at her daughter, she went on, "You're acting as if you haven't seen me in eons." Looking up again, and this time straight at Erin, whom she sized up with a critical eye while continuing, "More importantly, dear, don't you think you should introduce me to your friend?"
Confused, Michiyo looked round. In the shock of finding her mother - her mother - in the kitchen, she had completely forgotten about Erin. "Who? Oh!" She blushed, a bit embarrassed about her behaviour, while straightening up slightly. She refused to let go of the woman, afraid she would disappear if she would, so she led her over to him with her arms firmly around hers. "Mum, this is Erin York, an Exorcist like me and... a very good friend."

Erin cleared his throat a little and held his hand out to Michiyo's mother, "It's nice to meet you Mrs. Saruwatari. I'm very glad you could be here. I know Michiyo has really missed you."

"It's very nice to meet you too, Erin. It's good to see Michiyo made friends, though I'm not entirely sure how my daughter could have missed me," Mrs. Saruwatari said in reply, shaking his hand with a puzzled look, "I don't see where she'd get the time as we see each other every day."
Michiyo, who had been following the exchange, unable to keep a smile off her face at the strengthening thought that her mother was really standing next to her, frowned at the woman's closing sentences. What on earth did she mean, 'we see each other every day'? It had been at least five years. She remembered it like it was yesterday, saying goodbye to them in front of their small house, clinging to her mother's dress for as long as she was allowed to. She didn't have time for more than a confused frown in her direction, before her mother spoke again.
"Now, why don't you two go and relax, and I'll have breakfast done soon, and then we can get better acquainted while eating." Making shooing motions, she ushered the two of them out of the kitchen and back into the Common Room.
"I don't understand," Michiyo whispered as the door swung shut behind her, eyes staring at a spot in the distance, the sounds of her mother pottering away still very clear, "How can she... It's been five years... Five years"

Erin frowned a little when her mother mentioned seeing Michiyo every day. He knew that wasn't a possibility, but he let it go by without comment. He nodded at her direction and shuffled from the room along with Michiyo. Once they were in the hallway, he immediately looked to her as she whispered.
"I don't know...I..," Erin was at a loss.
All kinds of heinous things flew around in his mind, things the Order could have possibly been the cause for. Did they fabricate memories of Michiyo being there for all those years? Did they fabricate a version of Michiyo herself, to replace the young woman? Or was it the Leprechaun playing tricks? The worst thought possible crossed his mind then. What if while Michiyo has been away, her mother passed on. If the Leprechaun fabricated a fake version of her dead mother, would...this be the result? He bit his tongue hard at the thought. Suddenly his stomach started to churn, and he felt very nauseous. He walked a few steps towards the Common Room with his hand trailing the wall for support. He stopped again and waited for Michiyo as he stared ahead blankly. Please...anything but that. He shut his eyes tight and hoped that wasn't it. It would be completely his fault that Michiyo had to hear that sort of news, since he gave her the wish. He wouldn't be able to handle being responsible for that.
