His reaction was no surprise, but that didn't mean it hurt any less; his tears wouldn't leave any less scars on her heart. She felt selfish for putting him in this position, but she saw no other option. She closed her eyes, swallowed, and then drew in a deep breath. When she opened them again, it was to see her son running from her. This would not be how this ended. She couldn't leave with things like this. So she ran forward after him. Stag. Stop. You can't run from this, she called out to him. He had to face this. She felt like a hypocrite, telling him he couldn't run from his problems. Wasn't that kind of what she was doing? Running from Mahler and Diaspora because she couldn't face the rejection and the pain anymore. But it was more than that, she knew, it was just hard to see it that way right now with Stag so upset with her. She couldn't lose him too.
