i get what you're saying and i agree for the most of it, but the ml doesn't see his mother in the fl, he's reminded of the love that his mother gave her. im not sure if that makes sense but he said that he felt empty, or wasn't sure what to feel before he saw the fl... i guess what im trying to say is that he was reminded by the "warmth" and not his mother from the fl
...Is the white cat that is the main character's system the same one SO was always tangled with in every story timeline? The plot thickens...(?) Or is it actually the system?
