Jumbled, but a detail stands out – I was in a shop that did custom clothing for werewolves, and noticed a sign on the wall that said ATTN CUSTOMERS: BITING THE SEAMSTRESSES WILL NOT MAKE THEM WORK FASTER.
I'm more and more convinced I ought to have given Nine's mother a name back at the start, but that's what rewrites are for. Hope you can managed to know which "she/her" is which in the upcoming dialogue. Tricky thing is, this started as a fairy-tale, though I think it's since become something else, and in fairy-tales it's usually only the central character who has a name, if indeed anyone at all does.
