Ouroboros Spine Choices

Once she was done crying, the last thing Angel wanted to do was eat... but she did want her mother to be happy, and Angel had known all along that there would need to be a certain amount of keeping up appearances on her part in order to facilitate this. So she took another bite and forced it down and... yeah, actually? She was famished.

Meat and berries and the company of her two favorite women bolstered her spirits. She'd spent more time with just this as her family than she had with a father, really.

Everything was going to be alright.
