Ahnasha readily accepted her son's embrace. Her family's compassion was always comforting, but it could not do anything to answer the many questions racing through her mind. Her normal confidence was shattered in the face of the harsh reality of her own actions. Her parents and her brother, she had hurt them. Of that, there was no question. At the time that she decided to fake her death, she could not have even understood how much pain she put them through. But now, holding Rhazii in her arms, the extent of the torment she must have put them through was readily apparent.

"I am...I am a monster. I hurt them. I hurt my family, my own parents. What...what do I do, Fendros? You said they had managed to move on from it. Should they know the truth, or would that just hurt them even more? I just don't know, everything about this is just so...confusing." She asked, not even attempting to hide her desperation.
