>>5282852>Oh, she said she had some stuff to think about, so she left while you were asleep! But she said this was for you!”Ah, damn it, I missed the window of opportunity to ask her if she wanted to trade for a Hive Halo level. Well, I'm going to be kicking myself for that.
>>5282885>That's YOUNG for a mom. Like "Teen-mom" young.More than teen mom. Amara's seven, after all. Even if we're being generous and assuming that Amara is judging her mother's age from the earliest Amara can remember, that would still probably put her mother giving birth to Amara around the age of eleven or twelve. Very young sexual activity is possible, I'm leaning more towards sexual abuse as a likely backstory. Oh dear, Amara, I want to give your mom a big hug and tell her everything's going to be alright.
>>5282885>The bug bites where the bugs are the size of pennies? I'm scratching my head on this one and I'm hesitating to say that said bugs are probably ticks.I think they're track marks. Injection scars from doing intravenous drugs. It fits with the nice older lady bringing Amara's mother pamphlets about "rhubarb, but not the plant, the place". She means rehab, Amara tends to get words wrong when she's talking about things that worry her. Amara's mom evidently started taking drugs to cope with her life situation. That's not good.
