The caregiver eventually called her to meet her new family, "this is your new family" said the caretaker, she smiled like there was no tomorrow, "I'm Asami Sato, your new mother and this will be your dad Naomi Sato", said by the mother, "h-hi my name is Ayame" she said, "I'm sorry, Ayame is a little bit shy whenever she's meeting a new people, I hope you'll take good care for her" said by the caretaker, "don't worry we will" said by the mother and smiled.

Ayame asks and looks into her mother's eyes looking at her in disgust, she finally realizes that she wasn't there to be their daughter she was there to be their play toy.
