She waited until Doc finished his story before speaking. "I left my family at a young age to live with the Okaa-san of my sister and myself. Okaa-san means mother, but our Okaa-san was not our birth mother. It is what we geisha call the owner of the tea house we work for. We call fellow geisha sisters.
But my sister was unhappy with that life and she left to join the Golden Chrysanthemums after an incident. I followed her a few years later because it is the duty of family to look after eachother and without her presence I was feeling lonely. You can have all the admiration in the world and still feel like you live in a barren universe. So now I serve my new family."
