“I haven’t seen my family since we saw the monsters from the hole in the sky, so I’m here completely alone. But no Mother also means I could do anything I wanted. I could stay up way past my bed time or... or... eat all the sweets in that lodge. Or hide in that pretty tree with all the lights and throw those balls hanging from them at others. Mother can’t say no if Mother’s not here, right?”

“Being able to do whatever they want without being punished sounds like something a lot of kids would love. Even from my tribe, I know the only thing stopping some of the other Popplio from doing things they weren’t supposed to do was their mothers. Some even did bad things sometimes even after being told they couldn’t. And, Santa, if you judge other kids, then I’m sure you’ve seen the same thing, or kids who would do bad things if they had no one to tell them they couldn’t. But I don’t, because it’s mean, and I don’t like hurting others or taking things I don’t need. Seeing others being sad doesn’t make me happy.”

“And speaking of sweets... 

“I bet you get hungry from judging whether or not others are naughty or nice. I’d be happy to let you have some cookies! Sorry I don’t have anything to drink, though. I didn’t think to get anything.”

(sorry this is late, and sorry it’s a bit long)
