- you are in the midst of an argument with your mom! she's tugging you along to your room, angry. she says something about how you embarrassed her, but the details of whatever interaction she's referring to aren't included in this memory.
- you apologize for the embarrassment anyways, but try to explain yourself by telling her that you only wanted to learn about a nearby forest that's causing trouble for your kingdom. she tries to tell you that it isn't anything to worry about, and you get into a brief disagreement.
- during this argument, you remind her that the forest you're discussing is growing out of control, that nobody can cross a street without tripping over a root or vine. it's taking over the fields you use to grow food, driving out livestock and other animals. food is already becoming scarce; things are dire, and nobody is addressing the problem.
- she calls you ungrateful, tells you that you're looking for trouble instead of enjoying the life she's given you. you tell her that you're not looking for trouble, you're looking to stop the kingdom from collapsing. she counters that "life can be perfect, as long as you don't look very hard".
- when you start to argue again, she promptly tells you that you're grounded, closing your door quickly and locking it behind her. you pound your fist against it, telling her she can't keep you stuck in here forever. she informs you that to prevent you from trying to climb out the window and run away again, she's put fresh crocodiles in the moat surrounding the tower that holds your bedroom and they haven't been fed today.
