The woman’s life had become an endless, vicious cycle of mistakes and poor choices. It felt like she couldn’t find the right path no matter how much she struggled and wanted to. Was every move she made destined to be wrong? Was she cursed? Philomena didn’t know what to do, where to turn anymore. One step forward, two steps back… every time… what was the right choice anymore?
Tears stung her eyes as she made her way away from where she had fought her brother. Her neck hurt but it was her heart that was even heavier now. She felt unfit to be a mother to either of her litters. She had lost almost all of her first litter and only because Ulric and their mother was looking out for Nausicaa did she get to reunite with her daughter at all.
Maybe it would be better if she just… left.
Philomena came to a stop, gaze falling on the grave markers of Memento’s siblings. She never told her daughter who they were, only that the spots were not to be disturbed. She dropped before them now like a stone as her emotions drug her down. She squeezed her eyes closed, ears fell back against her head, and she let out a heavy whine.
She didn’t want to keep fighting…
...it was hard and she wanted to give up.
Things would never be how they used to be…
...what was the point?
