[While Norma doesn't exactly know this Ikki person (seriously? That's her name??), the story she hears does indeed strike a bit of a chord with her. Growing up in Luceti without much of her family for the long run...yeah. It's a lot like Sophie, and it won't ever not be rather bittersweet a tale. Luceti just delights in breaking apart friends and families, doesn't it? Sigh, may as well try and be a little nicer to this Icky kid or whatever... But, first thing's first--]

Just how old is this kid anyway? I mean, I wouldn't be anything less than my sweet, cherubic, pleasant, and wonderful self to those who deserve it, but humor me here. I've kinda heard this story before, aaaand I'm curious.
