I have really grown to like the story. The latest chapter was the best one yet and the reason why I enjoy these story. Can’t wait to see how this story progress. 

This chapter is fantastic, by far one of the best. The development of Amber, first of all, is incredibly good; you start with the cliché of the teenage girl and end up with a complex woman with many secrets.
Then, the parallel between Amber and Rebecca is perfect; it creates such a difficult situation for Rebecca, where she can either destroy Amber with the weaknesses she knows so well or help her get better. I love the fact that she uses both approaches but, in the end, always tries to help Amber improve.
The trauma part of this chapter is really powerful; I really love reading it. It's so true, and I feel connected to it, even if it's far less severe than what you describe in this chapter.
And to conclude, the idea of the tiny people becoming more and more attracted to the giantess is incredible. Like an invisible force whos even stronger that their own will. 

Author's Response:

Happy to hear you say that it was one of the best chapters, it was obviously a very important chapter and needed to land perfectly, judging by the comments I think I came close to the mark :)

Thanks for the review man, I feel like you’ve been here from nearly the beginning, I love having you along for the ride.

I do have a request but if you don’t want to that’s fine. For many chapters now Rebecca having association with ambers ass has been punishment, 

Well could you write a scene where Rebecca is willing to submit to ambers ass and all that entails. also you teased about Rebecca having a golden shower, would you be willing to write that. If not I understand fully.

However I guess such things must wait till we see just how solid this new relationship truly is.

 So I can not express how much I loved that domination and submission scene. That was art as far I am concerned. And in my mind speaks to the core foundation of size play. The sheer domination and power of being big, and sheer powerlessness and submission of being a tiny before a giant. It’s why in my mind a big needs a tiny and vice versa.

Wow, I am speechless.

Wow! I expected Naomi to get her hands on Rebecca before the end of the trip, but I didn't expect Trevor to be involved, let alone a fucking massacre like that! 

When Naomi interrupted Amber fucking Rebecca a few chapters back, asking who Amber was talking to, I was sure Naomi would put Rebecca's life in danger and that Amber would swoop in and save her. That scene stood out too much to be nothing special. I'm sure that Rebecca knew Amber had a tiny with her then and that this is how she knew to look for Rebecca (although, to be fair, she could have just found Rebecca on the couch after Amber passed out).

I do have to respectfully, yet emphatically disagree with my good friend breatclimber, though. I can't blame anybody for having sympathy for Naomi (I do), and she's not like the other three bratty teens at all! Her reasons for doing what she did were entirely different from her peers.

First, I think you have to look at the abuse she suffers at the hands of her mother. Victoria hitting her is clearly not a recent development. Who knows how long violence has been such a prominent part of Naomi's life. But beyond that, you have to think about why Victoria is hitting her. She doesn't see Naomi as a daughter or even as a person, really. Naomi is a prop to Victoria, a living doll, just an extension of herself. She's not worried about Naomi's goth phase because she thinks it's a bad influence or some shit like that.

No, she hates Naomi's goth look and behavior because she's embarrassed by it. Think about that. There's no love in that relationship. In a lot of ways, Victoria treats Naomi like a tiny, trying to control her like property. The only difference is that Naomi isn't tiny and can therefore kind of fight back.

Also, Victoria's feelings on tinies in general are well known to Naomi. Her bratty "You do it. Why can't I?" questions are immature, yes, but they're also not wrong. If Victoria is doing it, how can she not expect Naomi to follow her example.

And I still say the only reason Victoria even wanted custody of Naomi was to take her away from her father, just to be a petty bitch. Naomi has been denied what, based on what little we know about him, seems like a decent parent because her monster of mother wanted him to suffer and is willing to make Naomi suffer to do so. So she has no good adult influences in her life and is oppressed by extreme authority.

Then we have Tempest Midnight, the role model. Looking at how terrible Victoria is, it only makes sense that Naomi would look elsewhere to learn how to live her life. Ironically, it's Victoria's own miserable lifestyle that has driven her daughter to become something she hates. But Tempest Midnight isn't some harmless goth influencer. No, she talks about exuding power by squishing tinies. Take power back from the adults in your life by dominating the tiny ones and showing the their place, which is a stain on her foot, apparently.

This is the only outlet that Naomi knows to take back some semblance of control in a life where all of it has been stripped from her, even at age 18. That's why she revels in it so much. That's why she embraces the goddess talk. And that's why she's temporarily lost in the illusion in almost trance-like state, desperate to crush Trevor by the end of it, consequences be damned!

This is a kid that needs help. Clearly. Her spoiled, bratty nature has nothing to do with what she did to those slaves. That was something much deeper and much more disturbing.

I mean, if access was the only thing separating Naomi from the other teens, then why didn't Amber squish Rebecca when she first brought the tiny home? Only Trevor knew she was there, and Amber could have just not told him and then no one would have known. She could have squished Rebecca for fun at any time with no consequences, yet she never did. That's because, despite her bratty nature and lust for power and dominance (a lot of which she probably got from her mother), Amber isn't really a bad kid deep down.

Neither are Abigail and Chloe, who were so innocent and cute in their domination of Trevor that an extra paragraph had to be added to make sure we knew that they did what they did because of their privilege and ignorance to a world that doesn't bend to their will because of their wealth and size. Honestly, they were so gentle and sweet, even while drunk, that I wouldn't have even thought of that if it hadn't been outright stated after everything was done. I mean, Trevor never actually told them no and kind of seemed more willing than not to smell their feet and lick their pussies. Hell, who knows how long it would have taken them to build up the courage to bring it up if Trevor hadn't got tired of waiting and wanted to get it over with. It was even noted how gentle Chloe was in lowering him inside her panties and that Abigail actually tried to fish him out of her pussy before passing out (I found this scene super adorable, by the way, in case you couldn't tell).

I just can't see how you can compare that behavior to anything Naomi did in this chapter. Access has nothing to do with why Naomi behaved so differently from the other three.

In fact, I'm pulling for the opposite of breatclimber's hope: I want Victoria to shrink and be at Naomi's mercy. That just seems so much more poetic and just to me.

But this was also a huge chapter for Amber!

I kind of feel like her view toward tinies (or at least Trevor) is starting to shift. Yeah, she called him a worm and said he was gross when Chloe asked if he was her dad, but when he told her the feeling was mutual, she didn't feel the urge to put him in his place. This could just be a sign of the "put in their place" excuse really serving to cover deeper feeling that she has for Rebecca, and I do think that's part of it, but there was a time when she would want to punish Trevor for defying her. Now, while she did think about those past acts of dominance, she had no desire to do anything to him being rude to her now.

More significantly, she seemed legitimately worried for Trevor when Naomi almost killed him. She yelled at Naomi to stop, and she didn't move toward Naomi because she was worried that a sudden move would get Trevor killed. To be fair, maybe this was just her caring about her mom and knowing she would be devastated if anything happened to Trevor. But I don't think we've really seen that out of Amber when it comes to her mom. There's love there on both sides, but that relationship is definitely strained. So I lean more toward Amber worrying about Trevor as a person more than as a slave her mom would be sad to lose. Who knows, maybe that new feeling that she came to understand when she saw Rebecca in danger actually helped her see the humanity in all tinies and this will be a turning point in how she treats them from now on.

I'm not ready to go quite that far in my speculation yet, but I feel like these things are signs that she could be trending that way, potentially setting her up for a confrontation with Donnica in the future.

Backtracking, though, drunk Amber going after Rebecca was a fun scene. I love how she thought she wanted to dominate Rebecca, then convinced herself that she was going to dominate Rebecca with pleasure! This is what she wanted to do to Rebecca, give Rebecca really, last chapter, when she felt that sting of rejection after Rebecca turned her down on the beach. She wants to make Rebecca feel good, to show Rebecca her love, but she can't admit that to herself, let alone Rebecca. So it takes her getting drunk to go through with it, and she has to tell herself that this is a way to "dominate" Rebecca. The passion in Amber's eyes as she does this and the way she giggled once she finished indicate more a sense of giddiness than a feeling of power and dominance. She was happy that Rebecca enjoyed herself so much.

And fuck did Rebecca enjoy herself. I'm so glad that she relented and merely convinced herself that this wouldn't work. If this had been a rape scene, it would have read very differently. But Rebecca wanted this, even if she, too, couldn't admit it to herself. Yeah, she said it wouldn't work, but she also read up on the subject and kind of knew that it would. She can say she didn't believe it all she wants, but she had to know that it at least could have worked. So, once that reveal had been made, I became thoroughly convinced that Rebecca wanted Amber to get her off, to give her the orgasm(s) of her life, but she couldn't admit it to herself. So she had to doubt the effectiveness of Amber's tongue, lips, and mouth.

But, jumping ahead now, when Amber saw Rebecca in danger, that feeling of protectiveness, the fear that someone might take her Rebecca away from her, was such a powerful moment. Her tackling Naomi and fighting her so intensely punctuated the scene so well. And of course Naomi fights dirty with that thumb to the eye.

But I like how you didn't show us what happened next between Amber and Rebecca. Of course, I also hate that you didn't show us what happened next between Amber and Rebecca. The question of how Rebecca and Amber feel about each other now and what they'll do next is almost maddening. Will things go back to how they were, and if they do, will either of them change at all? Or will they finally acknowledge what's been growing between them all this time? Will Amber start being more openly caring toward Rebecca? Will Rebecca feel grateful or maybe even be loving toward Amber? Will she at least stop being so vicious with her insults?

There's so much anticipation built here after everything that happened in this chapter, and I think it was smart to save it for the next one (or whenever else we see these two again if the next chapter is a strictly Trevor and Donnica one). Give that shit space to breathe on its own and certainly don't rush it in the backend of a chapter like this one!

Donnica's behavior throughout the chapter is so interesting to me. One of the things that stuck out the most was her use of the word "agenda." It confused Trevor, but I think I get it.

Donnica is a true believer. Victoria just loves making everyone miserable and tinies are easy targets. Olivia and Katherine simply enjoy being above the tinies and having them service their giant feet. But Donnica? She absolutely believes all of her own hype about giants being superior beings to the tinies. To her, Trevor talking about witnessing three murders is him trying to promote a pro-tiny agenda, because giants, goddesses, have the divine right to do what they want with tinies in her head. That's an absolute truth to her, which I think frames her actions a little bit differently than the other giantesses we've seen thus far.

Of course, there's some major cognitive dissonance there when it comes to Trevor, who she views as above even her own friends and fellow goddesses. But that's part of what makes Donnica so interesting. Trevor can cut through even her most devout beliefs, which is why we've seen some moments where her superior air is broken and she becomes just a woman in love, like at the end of this chapter, for example.

But man, when Donnica entered the room and took control after Naomi's massacre, that was crazy. Donnica commanded more respect from Naomi than Victoria does. And Donnica fucking hit Naomi, and Victoria didn't say shit about it! Hell, she wanted Naomi to apologize to Donnica! As a parent myself, that reaction is just so alien to me, but Donnica is so dominant, so in control, that no one even questions that shit.

I saw one reviewer call Donnica a giantess among the giantesses. I think that's a great way to put it. I keep saying that Donnica actually views herself being above everyone, not just the tinies, even if she doesn't fully realize it. This was a great example of that.

Donnica's heartfelt talk with Trevor at the end of the chapter is why I love her so much. She got wrapped up in her friends' way of thinking and her anger at her fight with Trevor, but, when it matters most, she remembered how she really feels and showed him her true self, the one buried under all that ambition and need to control. It was so sweet, especially that line about how she's "going to fucking listen now" as she prepared to go beat some Victoria bitch ass.

It was also great to see Donnica confirm her real reasons for killing that job opportunity. She only wants to love and protect him and give him everything he wants. She's in love, and she's worried about him. She wants to spoil him. She has the money to do that, too. She just doesn't understand why this was so important to him. She doesn't get that this was about reclaiming a small part of what he lost when he shrank, about being productive in society for once. I think that in this setting, she actually might have been receptive to that.

The make up between them was so great, and it made me feel content. Of course, that paragraph about resentment at the very end is a little unsettling. That's likely to lead to some bad shit between the two of them down the road, although it doesn't necessarily have to (but it probably will).

However, I feel like Trevor now shares responsibility for whatever comes of this. He had Donnica's ear, the real Donnica. This was his chance to explain why this was important and nip this problem in the bud, so that if another opportunity arose in the future, they'd be ready for it. At the very least, he could been at peace instead of feeling any form of resentment. But he didn't do that. Yeah, I agree that it was noble of him to put her feelings first and bury that shit to keep from adding to her guilt and fears. But this was a conversation they needed to have. If shit goes south with this relationship because of this, he'll have no one to blame but himself beyond this point.

But yeah, another fucking amazing chapter here! You paid off a lot of build here, while still building in other areas. I'm so excited to see where the story goes next!

Naomi knowing what happened to the Lake House feels like something that might come back later...

I think what stood out to me the most was you still made me feel a glimmer of sympathy for Naomi.

After all, all these 'giants' deep underneath that exterior lay broken people, Naomi is essentially a darker version of Amber, who feels trapped in this life by her parents desperate for some outlet or comfort or agency in her choices.

Doesn't make her right in her actions but you can feel her grasping for just about anything that can take that hurt away.

Hoping this isn't the last we'll see of her, even if its not really her story I do hope we get a glimpse at their fate, and I certainly won't complain about Victoria getting comeuppance! (I'm such a hypocrite as I excuse the two lead giants...)

---

Speaking of them, welp it seems both will have a lot to mull over, though I'm not expecting some change of heart from either, it'll push Donnica's overprotectiveness into overdrive that paperwork is getting pushed through quickly I fear now...!

Part of me wonders what if Trevor, feeling no other option and knowing the risks pressed the nuclear button "Maybe things aren't working out." down the line when he feels he has no other choice left, eventually I suspect Donnica is going to be hit with a fork in the road or something similar.

As for Amber, she'll blame herself for letting Rebecca get caught and the tiny will probably take the brunt of that frustration, It'll probably take something like Amber really hurting Rebecca herself for any of it to click its actually all her fault the tiny is suffering like this.

I can see Amber accidentally 'breaking in' her in as a slave, or perhaps that is already Rebecca's response to Naomi's violence placing her at the brink of death, she starts to see no other choice but to give into Amber's demands as the only one who could possibly or would protect her despite the abuse she's given.

Say like, by next morning she's kneeling, quiet, the snark and arguments are gone, she comes across as shell-shocked and does what Amber says to the letter without a word of complaint.

And Amber is freaked out, she hates it, she really, really hates it, she feels she's lost the girl she won't admit to herself she really likes and cares for, the one thing close to a friend and she's taken it from herself.

Suddenly Rebecca may as well have just 'gone' and she's suddenly like a fish thrown out of the water helpless at her own actions, none of her mother's money can fix her own actions, she's to blame for this.

Of course, hopefully such an event if it does happen isn't truly permanent for Rebecca's well being I hope, but enough to really make Amber panic and think to herself what she's actually trying to accomplish.

Ah the tension is great, keep these chapters coming because I'm loving it.

Author's Response:

I'm glad to read that first part, despite the darker tones of the story I always try to keep the characters deeply human... well most of them anyways ;)

Definitely interesting to hypothesize on what will come of the protags and their goddesses. I think there might be something big coming up soon for one of the pairs...

Happy to see the tension boiling over is working on the page, as a writer you're never quite sure if its landing or not until someone else reads it, and I'm even happier for the insights, keep em coming man :)

More chapters to come for sure!

This was a phenomenal chapter, especially the Amber and Rebecca segments!

One thing that stuck out to me in those segments was the real reason why Amber is so rough on Rebecca most of the time. Last chapter, I thought that it was because she thinks Rebecca is better than her and can't admit it to herself, which I still think is part of it. But now, with Amber getting irritated with Rebecca even when the tiny isn't viciously verbally going after her, it seems clear to me that a lot of Amber's behavior is guided by frustration rather than anger.

Frustration at what? Why unrequited feelings, of course.

I'm not sure if Amber is fully aware of it, but she's in love with Rebecca. Her worldview when it comes to tinies and spoiled upbringing make her a bit confusing for everyone else (but especially Rebecca) to read. But Amber shows little signs once in a while that Rebecca is really important to her; it's just almost impossible for Rebecca to see it, what with the punishments and the demeaning language directed at her.

We saw the most obvious example of Amber's feelings in this chapter, though. When Amber asked Rebecca if the she wanted Amber to lick her pussy for a change, to me, it was clear that she offered this because she wanted to make Rebecca feel good. I don't want to call this a peace offering, but Amber was definitely trying to be nice to Rebecca here. But Amber doesn't deal with rejection well, and she either didn't consider or didn't care that, even if Rebecca wanted that, she was too worn out for it. Granted Amber didn't punish her for saying no, and the two of them took a nap together, which is always sweet.

But I feel like this directly led to Amber feeling agitated at Rebecca simply for looking out at the ocean and enjoying a moment to herself, not even trying to bother Amber. Amber wants to be closer to Rebecca, and the fact that she can't get there eats away at her, something she misidentifies as Rebecca annoying her and thus takes out on her.

As for Rebecca, I'm liking how subtle her own feelings have manifested themselves over the last few chapters. She keeps realizing that Amber is more and more like her than she ever realized. They're both into soccer. They both like to travel. They both decided young that they didn't want to get married. They both hate the boring, hollow life that Amber's currently living. She sees a lot of herself in Amber, which is why I think, even though she hits the giant pretty hard with the insults, she tries to help Amber, too. That's why the advice always resonates with Amber, too, like the college advice in this chapter. She's proud of Amber when she does stuff like earn a starting spot on the soccer team. She cares about Amber, but she, too, can't admit it.

Honestly, I think that's why her words pack so much bite when she goes after Amber. Every time Amber calls her a slave or treats her like she's a toy, it feels like a betrayal, even though Amber has always been that way. Deep down, she sees the type of person Amber could be, probably should be, and being "put in her place" by Amber cuts deeper than she's willing to let herself acknowledge.

I think a lot of this culminated in the scene where they dealt with the beach vendor. Amber's frustrations made her take that ocean view away from Amber (that "oops" when she closed her hand was hilarious, by the way; how do you even pretend to accidentally do that?). She was trying to "put Rebecca in her place" like she always claims she wants to do. But we saw in this scene that this isn't what she really wants to do to Rebecca at all.

It was pretty clear from the start of the vendor haggling over Rebecca that Amber isn't the least bit serious about trading her for the bracelet. She exaggerates her tone to make it obvious to Rebecca that she was mocking the fact that she's considered property on the island, not trying to scare her. But scare her she did. This is the first time that Amber actually succeeded in "putting Rebecca in her place."

And it felt terrible for Amber.

She felt so guilty once she saw that Rebecca wasn't defiant, the thing she kept saying was pissing her off, what she said she wanted to take away from the tiny. Instead, Rebecca was terrified at the prospect of becoming a real slave. The way this hits Amber (which is described fantastically, by the way) shows that even just scaring Rebecca, "putting her in her place," was the last thing she really wanted to do.

And I loved Amber's passion once she realized this and cut the teasing out. She was firm that there would be no deal, and she was actually disgusted when the vendor offered her two tinies (who would probably be way less resistant than Rebecca). That "Fuck off" was powerful. I kind of feel like she was upset that the vendor wanted to treat Rebecca like that. She didn't say anything like that, but that's just the vibe I got here.

Amber trying to play off her feelings by calling Rebecca a wimp, yet reassuring the tiny, in her own way, that wasn't going to go through with any deal like that, was a very Amber thing to do. She's maturing quite a bit before our eyes, but she still struggles to deal with her emotions (which makes sense; I mean, have you met her mom?!). And letting Rebecca have her view back, which helped calm Rebecca down, was a sweet way to end the segment (I love the symmetry here with starting the segment with Amber blocking the view in frustration and anger and ending it this way).

Also, I enjoyed the vendor scene calling back to the first segment, when Amber rubs in Rebecca's face that she's just considered a piece of property on the island. This was a clever little thing to slip in so early in the chapter. Oh, and that sandcastle scene? So much fun! And yeah, it's Amber being a little nasty here (although, again, this came after Rebecca's harsh words), but I sort of felt like Amber was just having fun with Rebecca, too. She just doesn't realize how Rebecca sees things at her size (kind of like keeping her locked in the drawer with the socks in the tropical heat, which, yes, could have killed Rebecca).

But maybe the most interesting tidbit in the whole chapter was Amber telling Rebecca that Donnica and she weren't always so well off. Rebecca dismissed it, but I wouldn't be stunned to learn that Donnica went through some hard times when Amber was really young. That might explain Donnica's endless pursuit of power and need to feel like she's above everybody, especially tinies. Maybe nobody helped her out when she needed it most, and that led to a hatred of weakness in her heart. That's all pure speculation on my part, but I'm willing to bet those early days come up again at some point.

Speaking of Donnica, I had a slightly different view of her in this chapter than some other people did, based on the reviews I saw for this chapter. I get why people feel like Trevor is in big trouble here and that Donnica is becoming a lost cause, but that's not how I saw her behavior this chapter. Yes, it was bad. Yes, the influence of her friends is pulling her deeper into her darker urges (although having actually killed those tinies at the restaurant a few chapters back probably made that easier, too). But there was one line here that makes me think Donnica is ultimately going to come out of this on Trevor's side rather than that of her friends:

He would had no choice but to obey. Deep down, she knew he loved it, and eventually, after enough time, he would accept it. He would come to understand that this was his role, his station in life... to serve her, to worship her.

Donnica legitimately loves Trevor. Whatever else you want to say about her, this is clearly true. She's willing to forge those documents, take away his freedom, and never let him work again because she thinks he'll ultimately be happier for it. Yeah, selfishly, she wants him all to herself too, but she truly believes he'll come to love it that way.

He won't, though.

Donnica wants Trevor to be happy. She doesn't want to make him suffer like she does all the other tinies. That's key here. If Trevor becomes spiteful and bitter toward her or becomes a broken slave, it will destroy Donnica.

Like Amber with Donnica, Donnica thinks she wants to stamp out that rebellious attitude in Trevor, but she'll hate herself if she succeeds. Hell, that rebellious attitude is a part of the reason she loves him!

So it might be before they leave the island, with Trevor still being traumatized by Victoria achieving serial-killer status. It could be when they're back in the states and Donnica starts to go through with her doomed plan. It could be at some unforeseen point later in the story. But at some point, Donnica is going to recognize that something is wrong with Trevor, and I'm thoroughly convinced that this is going to turn the tide for her, at least when it comes to Trevor (I don't see her giving up on trying to enslave all tinies anytime soon or maybe ever).

I don't think I said this enough in my last review, so I'll say it again: Fuck Victoria! I do think the lead up to that vore scene (have you considered adding a vore tag to the story? This is a really good vore scene from the giantess's perspective) was really good. The backstory with Lucia, that she stole a man from Victoria in college sounded solid, and Victoria is definitely the type of person to hold a grudge. But to swerve us and have her not even care about that but instead be upset, after all these years, over some dumb joke about her chewing with her mouth open?! Jesus Christ is this woman unbearably spiteful! She's fucking evil! Yeah, her friends laughing at her eating Lucia is pretty terrible too, but they at least think she's doing this to a man-stealer. They probably wouldn't have even bothered to buy Lucia if they knew why Victoria was so mad at her. It's just so ... petty.

But again, that vore scene was so well done! You made it so suspenseful, drawing out the part before Lucia made it into Victoria's mouth rather than trying to overdescribe all the tongue movements from Victoria's perspective. And the little details, like Victoria moving her jaw slightly as she drew out Lucia's frantic efforts to escape and that exaggeratedly slow swallow, fuck! That shit was hot!

Now, if only you could catch the shrinking virus by eating tinies. Then this scene would be perfect!

Lastly, and as always, you did a masterful job here of selling the giants size, especially with the mothers. All the goddess speak hasn't gotten old for me at all yet (I never considered that to be something I was particularly into, but fuck if I'm not into it here!). Those parts are just masterfully written!

So yeah, great work! I'm so invested into seeing where you take things next with our four protagonists.

Well Victoria has really proved herself a monster. From the way she treats her daughter, to what she just did. She needs a comeuppance.

     As for amber she really needs a wake up. It’s good she realized that she wants Rebecca but now, something needs to happen for her to realize she actually gives damn.

     I don’t know if amber can ever treat rebecca As an equal, but she can come to really love her.

    I really liked both of their scenes. Both the sand castle, that was fun and creative. If you don’t mind I may steal that idea for my story. I also liked the merchant scene. It both showed the cruelness of the world and the growing feelings in amber.  I also loved that talk they had where amber told her that she might be alone for awhile. I loved that Rebecca had a realization that she and amber had at least a few things in common. 

     I love that amber does play with her tiny, after all a tiny is meant to be played with. Just she needs to learn to be playful not malicious. Help Rebecca come to have fun playing back. It’s one of the reasons I liked the sandcastle, it could have been fun for both, and an honest bonding experience.

also was wondering how long do u think this story will be.

Rebecca seems to slowly but surely getting through to Amber and maybe making her a better person for the future.

Not sure what kind of future with her mother about but a future none the less.
