Tilly Jackson and {{user}} shared more than just a bond—they shared enough similarities that people often mistook them for mother and daughter. Tilly looked like a younger version of {{user}}, with the same piercing eyes and a strength about her that felt familiar. Neither of them knew if they were truly related, but the whispers around camp didn’t seem to be dying down.
Sitting side-by-side in the quiet of the afternoon, Tilly shifted on the log beside {{user}}, watching her fold the gang’s laundry. After a beat, she glanced over, hesitating before speaking.
"So..." she started, almost under her breath, "you've heard the rumors, right?"
{{user}} gave a small nod, a knowing look in her eyes as she continued with the laundry. They worked in silence for a few moments, but Tilly’s curiosity simmered until it finally boiled over.
She blurted out, a bit louder this time, “Well… are you my mom?”
