here goes nothing

When Spider went limp in his arms, he patted the back of their head awkwardly. Instead of driving Spider away, he seemed to have brought them closer. In his panic, everything he had wanted had backfired. He listened as Spider spoke of their mum, of her leaving them. “Mums are stu--” He swallowed the words, finding them more painful to speak than he expected. Despite everything, he couldn’t say it. She had been his whole world, even if that world had been a dark one.

“Mum’s are… aren’t always right.” He said lamely instead. He rolled off his paws, and landed lightly on his rump on the earth, bringing Spider with him. “My mum… she killed my siblings, ‘cause they were weak. Now… now everything I do would be weak by her standards. So either I should be dead, or she was…. wrong.” And the implication of what that meant for his siblings still hadn’t settled in. Not really.
