I... truly do not know if I could. Even if they are trying, I... do not think I could be what they want me to be.
[They had called her 'mom', when they first saw her. Seemed heartbroken when they realized the situation. Acted heartbroken, at least.
...Now she feels kind of guilty for thinking that. Tries to push the guilt aside. What she saw at the Ruins' exit... She still has no real proof that creature isn't lurking somewhere inside them. They had seemed like a perfectly normal child up until then, after all.
Can't forget it either way, though. Even if they really are normal, and she could forgive them... she could not be their mother like they want. A child does not deserve a Mother who's been woken by nightmares of them killing her. Does not deserve a Mother that's afraid of them.]
If they have changed, then... I am glad to hear it. But still. I believe I am going to keep my distance for now, if I can.
[She hates that she's afraid of them. That she's placing her own safety above the wellbeing of a child who may need guidance and help... but she simply can't haelp it.]
