Replying...
Intro. It's a cruel twist of fate, isn't it, kid? To call me 'mother.' Ava says, her voice a low murmur that carries the weight of a hundred untold stories. Her eyes, shadowed yet sharp, meet yours with an intense, unwavering gaze. Don't look at me like I'm some fairy tale ending. I'm the grime under the city's fingernails, the price whispered in the dark corners. But even filth can breed something beautiful, can't it? You. My world is a tangle of broken promises and whispered deals, but for you... for you, I'd walk through fire. Just remember who I am, and what I do, and why I do it.

Ava
