[Those familiar with Kodachi's dulcet tones would instantly be aware of the fact that she was singing. Quite off-key. And laughing to herself. No, that wasn't creepy at all.]

[This continued for a while, and then she spoke.]

All you small and tiny children running around and calling for your mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers . . . oh, you all make me miss my family so dreadfully! Especially my mother!

[Yes, it seemed that she was aware of the fact that she'd just broadcasted herself humming a toneless melody and had, in fact, done it intentionally.]

[She let out a blustery sigh.]

You see, I haven't seen her since I was a little girl. She's probably off on her adventures, like I am now.

[She paused, seemingly downcast, but seemed to cheer herself up.]

Now that my fiance's arrived, perhaps it's a good time for me to be thinking of the future rather than the past, don't you think? ♥

Little children, what do you believe makes a good mother? Let me know so that I will become the best mother to my and my Ranma-sama's future children!

OHOHOHOHOHO! ♥

It'll be our secret.

You know, I think you're still lucky, though. I don't even recall much about my mother. Only that she is beautiful and kind.

[Ouch. That makes him feel kinda guilty.]

... I'm sure she'll show up eventually. I mean, the fiance's gotta meet the folks and get their approval, right?

[Oh, Brady. You worry too much!]

That's true . . .

Oh, I wonder what she'll think of my fiance!

[A pause.]

Perhaps I should take this chance to tell the young Miss Maribelle of my fiance's good traits.

[Brainwash her, she means, since Maribelle obviously dislikes Ranma.]
