309 GRIN

Leilani let her umbrella drop slightly, and allowed the rain poured onto her forehead. "Well, you don't have to hurry and make your decision. If you want, you can keep her ashes with you forever."

Lexine took the urn that Leilani was holding, and cradled it to her chest. "As much as I want to take mom's remains with me, I don't think I can promise I'll keep it safe. I am going back to the academy after all."

Although she was saying that, she had hugged the urn close to her chest. Leilani smiled, subconsciously raising her hands to rub Lexine's hair. "This is your home now, Lexine. Even if you don't take it with you, you'll still find it here."

Lexine looked down at the golden urn. There were complex decorations on it, which made it look fancy. All her life, her mother almost always showed her inherent dislike for rich people, but now her remains had been placed in a golden urn.

The irony.
