Her name is Astrid, with healthy blonde hair, a thin face, and a cold collarbone. She inherited her mother's beauty and her mother's artistic talent.



She knew that her mother loved that man and hated that man. Mother said, "Love insults you, hatred makes you mature. It's reassuring."

Mother deleted a man's hard drive, ripped a man's clothes, stabbed a man's hand with a glass, put oleander in milk, and went to Mexico Buy DMSO. She knows, she knows.

One night she watched her mother arrested. "They don't have the right to arrest me, I'll be back in an hour," the mother told her back then.



"I gave birth to you to think for yourself. Don't forget who you are, Astrid."

"Loneliness is a human condition, and no one can fill that void. The best thing you can do is know yourself. Know what you want." That 's what

her mother taught her.



Mother was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. "Never give the night to a man," said the mother. Never apologized, never explained. And my mother broke all her rules.

"I knew you were going to kill Barry, but you didn't care, you didn't care how that would affect me," Astrid later told his mother.
