Imagine Bela being unhealthily codependent towards her mother, to the point where it blooms into full-on separation anxiety.
This then leads to Mother Miranda stepping in. She creates this “game” of sorts, a way to “help” Bela into being more independent.
“Five weeks of isolation,” the priestess says, much to Bela’s dismay. “Each week, Bela will spend time away from you, Alcina. First in Moreau’s reservoir, second in Heisenberg’s factory, third in Donna’s home, fourth on her own completely, and fifth in her own castle again, where she will not be allowed to interact with you. She can call and ask for you all she wants throughout this experiment, but you will not go to her, either. Nobody will get you for her. This is the only way to make her more independent.”
Mother Miranda then tilts her head and smiles wickedly.
“At least you will be able to spend time with your other two creations, will you not?”
They have no other choice but to agree.
Bela thought she would be able to do it, thinking about how proud Alcina would be if she did, but by the end of the first week she’s terribly anxious, so much so that she’s eating less and can barely sleep, and she desperately wants her mother.
She can’t do this.
