As much as I desperately want to see my mother again, I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to say to her. I needed her when I lost Ciara. I needed her when the gatekeepers gutted me and when Elysium stole me for its own. I've needed her so many times these awful, many years, and she's been off fighting a war she never once explained to me. I'm as likely to hit her as hug her.
