[ "Distant" is about right for her tone now, though. ]
Maybe not for us, but... hm. [ she's frowning a little, like she's trying to work out if it's somehow untoward of her to admit what she's about to say. ] She wasn't a bad mother -- she worked very hard and she loved me and Ruu-chan very much. I know that.
But I always felt... a little more like a guest on her best behaviour rather than her daughter. Does that make sense?
