<div style="text-align: justify;">Len's mother knew her adopted son well enough to read him better than most would. That was exactly why she didn't want to talk to him anywhere near Emma. She knew the girl was still very much unbalanced, and any stress could make things worse. <br/><br/>Emma shifted in bed as Len's hand slipped away from hers, and, either by really listened or pure instinct, she nodded after Len's words. After accepting the kiss, the girl mumbled something and rolled to the part of the bed where Len had been before he had gotten up. <br/><br/>Once they got out of Emma's room, Mizuho took a deep breath. She wasn't happy with that situation at all. She had caught a part of the screaming match, and now that. This situation was very bad all around. Neither one of the kids was in a good and stable position, and putting them together as therapist and patient had been a bad idea.<br/><br/>"She is a patient. And so are you, so whatever happens between you and her is not only between the two of you. You are both of legal age, so that would be the case if you were out there. Not here, though". The woman sighed.<br/><br/>"I have heard a part of your... <span style="font-style: italic">spat</span> with her, and I don't think this is a healthy situation for either of you". The woman sighed, knowing Len would not like what he was about to hear. "I'm taking her case off your hands, at least for now", she continued. Her intonation was gentle, but firm. It wasn't a suggestion, and the case was not open for discussion. "After she wakes up, I want to have a conversation with both of you. We will set a few ground rules, as I know I won't be able to keep the two of you apart. Now please, go to your room until you calm down", she completed, in an intonation that meant to convey that it was the end of the conversation for now. They would definitely get back to it, but Len's adoptive mother knew better than to try and argue for now.</div>
