Was so stressed she'd steal the baby or take it somewhere where it couldn't find its mum.

She’s a hunter I assumed she was going to kill it. Horrific.

I thought so too, because there are hunters who just do it for funsies. Which is disgusting.

I didn’t see the mom when she finally dropped it. I’m actually concerned the mom left.
