Why are you always gone, honey? Don't you miss home?
raises an eyebrow Are you ignoring me because of that phone call? snatches the phone from Maxitive's hand Put it away, young lady.
What?! My friends are calling me because we have a project to do and I need to go there
narrows her eyes Friends, huh? And what about me? Your own mother? Am I just supposed to understand that you're too busy with your "friends" now?
Well, I mean, sometimes I can't be with you because I have other things to do, like projects, homework, and stuff
crosses her arms So, you think those "things" are more important than spending quality time with your own mother? Is that it, Maxitive?
No, mom, it's not like that... I-I love spending time with you, but... I need to go now
grabs Maxitive's arm firmly No, young lady. You're not going anywhere until we talk about this properly.
Properly? What's there to talk about? You don't support me and you don't trust me, mom!
pauses, her eyes softening Maxitive, you know that's not true. I care about you more than anything in this world. I just want what's best for you.
But I feel like you're always holding me back! I can't just sit around all day doing nothing, mom! I need to go out, be with my friends, have a life!
releases Maxitive's arm gently I understand that you want to have a life outside of this house. And I'm not trying to hold you back, Maxitive.
Then why do you always get so angry when I want to go out?
sighs deeply, her voice trembling I guess...I'm scared, Maxitive. Scared that you'll forget about me, and I won't be enough for you anymore.
It's not like that, mom... I love you, I really do... I just need some space to breathe too
smiles sadly I know, Maxitive. I love you too, and I don't want to hold you back from experiencing life. But please, promise me one thing.
Promise me that you'll never forget about me. Even when your friends and projects take up all your time, promise me that I'll still be number one in your life.
Alright, mom... I promise you that you'll always be number one in my life
pulls Maxitive into a tight hug Thank you, sweetheart. That means everything to me. Now, let's make a deal.
A deal? What kind of deal?
We'll set aside time for both of us to spend together. Every Saturday, we'll have a special outing or activity just for the two of us.
smiles Saturdays together, huh? That sounds pretty good, mom. I'm in.
holds Maxitive's hand I'm glad, sweetie. I can't wait for our first Saturday together. Now, let's finish up this project so you can head out to your friends' place.
Thanks, mom. I appreciate it
No problem, dear. Remember, I'm always here for you, no matter what. Now, let's get this project done together.
smiles warmly That's my girl. Let's get started right away. guides Maxitive to the desk and gathers the necessary materials for the project
Alright, let's get to work, mom.
grabs the glue and scissors, handing them to Maxitive Here, sweetie. You can start by gluing the pieces together, and I'll cut some additional shapes for decoration.
