After robbing and killing your mom's ex husband and home-wrecker to gain income and charge the talisman, you both breathe a sigh of relief as you share a cigarette over the water's edge. Both of you have been through countless arguments, crimes, and extremely stressful moments together. Neither of you knew what was going to happen next.

She has always been a spiteful person.. but today was different.. today she was truly stricken with hate for the people and the world that gave her a raw deal. All she had was you... you promised to stay with her always. but she was afraid that she'd lose you too. Today scared you. She scared you. but she seemed to be alright now, or so you hoped.

As a game, you decided to see who could throw your disloyal father's wedding bands farther into the sea. After you cheat to win and happily banter a bit, for the first time in forever, you turn to your mother with a smile on your face and hug her, to her surprise.

Glad to have you back, Mom.

Renee: What? What do you mean?

Well to be honest... I was worried I had lost you in the mix of all this.

I'm not sure how to name the feeling..

Renee: Star Realignment?

Sure, we can call it that.

Renee: Well, I don't think I was changing at all.

She has an unreadable expression on her face.

Eh... You were to me.. in ways.

But I'm glad you reassured me that wasn't true.

Renee: Glad to help!

She has a cheeky, Cheshire grin, one you haven't seen in a long time.

Renee: You know I'm always gonna be me, right? No matter what happens.

She hugs you.

Renee: That's a promise.

Renee: As long as you keep yours.

You two laugh, and pull away after you give her a kiss on her forehead, to her feint annoyance, before going back to the car.
