Better off?

[agleam]

[after another few moments:]

That doesn't necessarily make it easier for you, though, does it?

[unrecked]

What, her being sick, or her being better off dead?

[He could literally be a little more sympathetic, but no he must Conceal, Don’t Feel. And doing it this way helps.]

[after a beat:]

I meant losing her.

[WELL, this actually sobers him so quickly for once. He turns his head a bit away.]

It's complicated. But she was still my mom.
