Sun Mote Copse Othan.

She heard her mom crying behind and it only made things worse.  Through everything, Kiwi had stayed.  And Bat just kept appearing and disappearing, tearing their mom down every time she did it.  Kiwi had noticed how hard it was for her mom to smile lately... she'd have to be blind not to.

Why couldn't she just stay gone if this was how it was going to be?

Even as she thought it, she knew it was awful, and a huge guilt welled up in her.  She couldn't go see Bat with her mom, she couldn't let her mom know what was going on.  Let her go be happy.  

At that she did start to run, disappearing to deal with things on her own time.  If Clover followed she could definitely find her and catch up, but she didn't look back to see how those gathered reacted.
