[when you insert the key and open the door, you'll find inside the room looks like the living room of a mansion - the space bends on the walls, but there is a single door that leads to another room; though the door is closed, you can see through it—as if it's somewhat transparent. the room is painted baby blue and a gold-plated cradle sits in the room.

inside, a baby cries - high pitched and noisy, though immediately a nurse comes in to rock the child back to sleep.]

-

[slowly, the scene changes, fading in and out with various silent scenes—the baby sits up, trying to climb out of her cradle; a little toddler dressed prettily with expensive clothes beams pleasantly; a tantrum, thrown by the little girl who's distressed; the little girl holding a puppy, pleased as punch; then the wall becomes opaque.]

[in the middle of the open doorway, a young girl the age of 10 sits on a chair, smiling at you. a golden retriever is curled up beside her.]


[this is your little girl. you couldn't help spoiling her, honestly - after all, she's a noble too, and she should like to become a princess as well. she deserves it. but you also know, with how your history's gone, she's going to have to work to get to the top. but you have faith in her - she's your girl, after all.]

Star sits her down and gently explains that a true samurai doesn't give in to taunts by jerks. They fight only to protect the innocent and their lunch, and not for anger or for vengeance. So while she agrees that her daughter should stand up for herself and others, she went too far and it became more about satisfying her anger than JUSTICE111. A true samurai can keep their cool in any situation, and when jerks try to rile her up, the most effective thing to do is continue to be cool and not let it get to her.

She tells her daughter to come along with her to check on the injured person, but doesn't force her to apologize and leaves it up to her.

And she tells her daughter if she works on not giving into taunts and only fighting in defense of herself or someone else rather than anger, MORE BURGER AND SAMURAI TIME CAN HAPPEN.

Your daughter frowns, listening. . . she understands, but sometimes she gets really mad, and she can't help it. But she'll try. . . . she wants to be a true samurai! She wants to protect the innocent and their lunch, and not be so angry! But she's not sure what to do . . . still, she's sorry that she's done that to that person, and goes with you to the hospital. During the trip, she ends up hiding behind you for a majority of the time, until she works up her courage to apologize and offer a burger. The injured person accepts her apology. . . and the burger.

Your daughter's moral compass is good.
