themainframe | 5.000 mph ⚡ HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY (video/action)

[ Wally is currently in Roaming Park with Neku and Cam where things are considerably less on fire than in the kitchen. He's still not sure how they managed to burn eggs. He's trying to stand away from them at the moment, though, because he doesn't want to ruin the surprise. ]

Alright, I know most of the ladies here aren't really old enough for this occasion, but, just in case there are any mothers here, I wanted to give a shout out to all of you and all the moms back home (even though they won't see this...). Thanks for putting up with us, we couldn't have made it this far without you.

That being said... I wanna dedicate this post to Commander Shepard.

Well, me, Neku, and Cam, and I guess anyone else who looks up to her, too. We all really appreciate all you've done for us here. And even though, you know, things have been kinda patchy between me and you, the fact that you haven't totally written me off or given up on me means a lot.

Sooo...

[ He turns the camera to reveal Neku and Cam sitting on a blanket with little sandwiches and other snacky food. Thankfully Wally had intercepted their attempt at baking. ]

Ta-da! We made you a picnic. It's a thing I do with my mom and my aunt back home every year, so I figured it'd be nice to do one here for you, too. Also Neku and Cam nearly destroyed the kitchen with their cooking, so... this was safer. Plus fresh air!

Anyway, we're in Roaming Park. I guess if anyone else wants to come, they can too? We just don't have that many sandwiches...

[ He looks a little unsure, shrugs, then cuts the feed. ]

[Shepard was smiling approvingly at the first part of the broadcast, because yes, good, thanking the mothers is good.]

[And then he dedicates it to her.]

[She stares at the d-terminal in utter surprise as she listens, and she actually catches herself blushing. This is absurdly sweet, and she laughs out loud when Wally mentions that Neku and Cam nearly ruined the kitchen. What great kids she has.]

[Oh.]

[Her kids, huh? Well. She can work with that.]

You kids...

[Is that a tender, affectionate smile you've got there, Shepard? I think it is!]

I'll be over in ten.

Is there something special about today?

[Guess who's never heard of Mother's Day...]

[ She didn't really show it that often, but Rise did love her grandmother. She supported her through everything. When she decided to pursue a career of being an idol, even though she had been so against it at first. She also supported her decision to quit even though she had been at the peak of her career.

Rise smiled and thought of how Ms. Shepard would react. She hoped she would be happy. She really had been great to all of them. ]

Wally, it was really great of you guys to do this for her ...

... man.

I haven't seen my mom in a long time.

She's probably worried sick about me...

You need a specific day to appreciate a woman who has done a lot for you?
