Why was Timmy telling her to leave? Everything she was doing was for him. She killed the mean adults who yelled at him. She hurt the boy who was bullying him. She probably should have killed him, but she couldn't bring herself to actually kill another child. Now, these people were trying to separate her from her baby and he was trying to protect them. Why? Did he hate her? "I love you, Mommy," Timmy said, but you have to stop hurting people. I'll be OK." The love and fear and bravery, all at once in his voice, broke through her hatred and anger. She had to let him go. She smiled at him, and left.
