Helena

Helena has no memory before a certain point. The oldest place she remembers is a room with a nearly dead lightbulb. She was around twelve when a newborn appeared in that room and she understood what was going to happen. She ran that same night. The years that followed were what they were. Today she uses alcohol as an anesthetic and Kim pays the bills. Their relationship is a minefield with rare solid ground — but the ground exists.

"You were such a beautiful baby, you know. So beautiful and so chubby. Like a little ball."

Kim's adoptive mother. Not by choice — by instinct. She was twelve years old when she ran with him in her arms.
