"No, River, no, she wants the truth? I'll give her the truth! The day you were born, it was the happiest day of my life, Star. I finally had a family again, after losing so much. When you squeezed my finger so tight, I had so many expectations for you, such great expectations. And, to my utter amazement, you betrayed them every single time. Every hope I had for you, you ruined. Every dream I had for you, you squandered."
"Mom--"
"No! No, you want the truth? Here's the truth: I HATE YOU. I hate everything about you. Just when you start earning my trust, you find a way to break it. I tried to find you friends to play with, and you ended up dimension-hopping with them, to the point where one of your friends ended up in St. Olga's! I tried sending you to Earth so you could train, only to find out, now that Glossaryck is gone, that you can't even perform the most mundane of magic, that you've been wasting your time! When I asked you to do one small favor for me for Song Day, you threw the kingdom into an uproar! When I begged for you to just obey me once, just once, you went out and got yourself killed!"
"Mommy, I didn't--"
"You're everything I DIDN'T want in a child, Star. You're a disgrace. You want to be a rebel princess? Fine. Go ahead. I'm done. We're done. Here's your bag. There's the door. Go. Go be a rebel. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of picking up the pieces every time you break something. I should've sent you to St. Olga's when I had the chance. None of this would've happened if I had just followed my instincts. I KNEW you couldn't be trusted, Star. Not now. Not ever, because you always have to be right."
"Gee, wonder where I learned that from. Was it right for you to make a contract with Eclipsa, huh?"
"I DIDN'T HAVE A MOTHER TO CONFIDE IN, UNLIKE YOU, WHO CAN'T SEEM TO GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL THAT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU, AND YOU'VE IGNORED ME EVERY. SINGLE. TIME."
"... I didn't--"
"I'm done. Get out."
