Enishi has not taken the news of my engagement well. It is no surprise. To him I am more of a mother than a sister, and no child will take losing their mother easily, even if I will move to a home close by. Regardless, I would not have expected such a tantrum from him at six* years old. I wonder if it is a failing on my part in raising him, but he has always been a willful child. He has a year to become accustomed to the idea. I wonder if this will cause him to cling to me even more than he already does.
