a mum shouldn't have favourites...

Sleep did not come easily that night, not when her gaze kept snapping to shadows, wondered if the wrong face would round the corner. Hanako found herself at the beach, dark sand coating her paws as she stared out at the waves, huddled up in a blanket beside the smouldering remains of the bonfire she'd once put together. Or had rather had her tanuki put together with his more nimble paws. The sun was barely peeking over the horizon, a thin slither of light threaded itself across the ocean waves. Her memory was a little off, not amnesia or anything equally dramatic, but the timeline in her mind wasn't quite as put together as some wanted it to be. Details were hazy and if they weren't then her pink lips were sealed up.
