"It was like you said Adora," Glimmer sobbed. "It was like a complete stranger pretending to be my aunt Casta, but it wasn't. It was my aunt, the same aunt Casta who knitted me all those socks and made those fancy cakes, who helped me to master my powers was the same person who would leave a little kid to die over something her parents had done," she shook her head. "How is that possible?" she wailed. "How can those be the same person? It's impossible, and yet…"
"So why can't you talk to your mother about it?" Adora suggested.
"Don't you get it?" Glimmer screamed and teleported to the middle of the room. She frantically paced back and forth a crossed the floor. "If I go and ask my mom about this who will I find?" she wailed. "Who will I find? My mom, the same caring, over protective queen I have known all my life? Or will I find a completely different person, just like Casta?" She stopped and faced them, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Can you tell me that? Can you?"
Adora looked down at the floor, "No," she said.
"I can," Bow said. He walked over to Glimmer and put his hands on her shoulders. "Glimmer, if you go to your mother right now I know what you will find and it won't be some stranger. She will be there, same person you always loved and she needs you Glimmer."
"Why?"
"Because she is scared, Glimmer. She's ashamed of what happened years ago and now that you know, she is afraid of what that means. She's afraid because she doesn't know if she will find the daughter she has always loved or," he smiled at her. "Just a stranger pretending to be her daughter. That's why she needs you."
"But what if I am just a stranger? What if I'm not the daughter she remembers?"
"I don't think it will matter, because I am certain she won't love you any less for it."
"Thank you Bow," Glimmer put her arms around him. "Thank you."
