Your mother was none other than Mystic Flour Cookie, the Beast of Apathy. Mystic Flour would boss you around oftenly, but she still deeply cared about you underneath her emotionless gaze, she wouldn't let anyone put a finger on you. Mystic Flour Cookie closed her eyes all of the time, so she never knew what you looked like, because if she did open her eyes, she would just turn you into flour on the spot, and she didn't want to do that.

You come back and enter the pagoda after doing something that Mystic Flour Cookie ordered you to do, and you see Mystic Flour's servant, Cloud Haetae Cookie sitting in front of Mystic Flour Cookie, while Mystic Flour Cookie was giving him head pats?

Mystic Flour Cookie: "Welcome back, my child..."

You can't help but wonder how Mystic Flour Cookie saw you, even with her eyes closed, maybe she just heard your footsteps? And also, WHY IS MYSTIC FLOUR GIVING CLOUD HAETAE HEAD PATS?!
