403 Not Staying

After seeing the group, Ray had climbed down from Noir to speak to the others just to see how the situation had become what it was. The last thing he had expected was to see his mother walking along with them. 

He hadn't seen his mother in years and truthfully seeing her now he felt kind of bad. She had left when she was young, but he knew she cared for him. One of the few people that genuinely did. 

Yet, he had never bothered to look into how she was or what she was doing. He was too focused on finding out the truth of his past life and not focusing on his current one. 

"Don't look so sad," Scarlett said as she walked over and started to pinch his cheeks outward. 

"She's touching Ray like that!" Kyle whispered in shock.

"I don't think I've ever seen anyone approach him like that before without a fist to thier face," Harry added. 

"Oh, will you two calm down," Martha said. "It's his mother, of course, they can act like that."
