-Subaru would have never expected to see his mother again. He knows that it’s normal for his kind to not get to have any relationship with their parents, but for the short time he was allowed to be with his mother, he got painfully attached. He’d be beyond grateful to be able to be with Christa again, but unfortunately, he mental state is another matter entirely, and there’s a good chance she won’t remember him well enough to treat him anything like she did when he was younger. The rejection would hurt, of course, but Subaru is well aware of exactly what kind of trauma his mother has gone through.

-Normally, exotic pets are removed from their mothers as soon as they can survive on their own. No one wants them to get attached, after all. Subaru’s mother had been prone to fits for a while, streaks of acting out in which she lashed out at not only her owners, but herself. A vet suggested that having one of her children around as a sort of “comfort object” might help calm her (the vet also said that her fits were likely caused by over breeding, but no one listened to that). So Subaru spent a long portion of his childhood with Christa, in an attempt to even out her behavior and keep both the owners and their future profits safe. But just as the owners feared, a strong attachment formed between the mother and child, and when Subaru was eventually taken away, both of them started to act out again, this time out of stress from being separated from the only family they had ever known.
