Rayven allowed Angelica to cry as much as she needed and then when she calmed down he listened to her speak about her mother. He got emotional as well while he listened. She had missed her mother so much and from her stories her mother reminded him of his own. Warm, wise and gentle. Full of love and strength. His mother had stood tall despite his father's daily abuse that was followed by his. Her son's abuse. How much that must have hurt. He hated himself even more now.
He had a mother for so many years that he never appreciated and Angelica who so badly wanted a mother, lost hers. Life was unjust or maybe it just didn't discriminate between good and bad people. It randomly took and gave and some got lucky and others very unlucky.
