The Circle had ssed up Clown Mask's life in ways unimaginable to many. Clown Mask had not only seen what the Circle was going to do to her in her future vision but had to live all again since she was powerless.

It was like your killer showing you the video of them torturing you and killing you before proceeding to do exactly that in that exact order. You know what is going to happen but you can only helplessly let it happen. That kind of despair takes a huge toll on one's mind.

One such thing in Clown Mask's life was Cortney herself. Clown Mask knew of Cortney's birth from her future vision, she struggled for years before deciding to let it happen, to give birth to Cortney, despite knowing that she could not be there for her during her childhood and that just like her Cortney too would beco a pawn of the Circle.

But not if she can help it, the mont she decided to give birth to Cortney was when Clown Mask no longer planned to escape the Circle and go into hiding but to fight it from within. Weaken the Supre leader slowly by destroying his fortune which made him a god-like being in her future vision. The taintless physique of Chief Denise's daughter, Wyatt's soul pupils, and many more.

Clown Mask's life was super ssed up, she had her issues. But one thing was sure she would do anything for Cortney. She believed having willingly abandoned Cortney she had lost the right to be a mother to Cortney. So, she never tried to be a mother to Cortney. Instead, she beca her master and demanded Cortney to call her as such, teaching her and training her to survive the cruel world.

Regardless of what Cortney thought of her mother, Clown Mask did her best to make the world a better place, but no one was aware of or acknowledged her actions. The Southern royal family, who knew everything, never praised her for sacrifice but chose to lock her up. Even Wyatt who knew everything silently watched as it happened. Back then he was still insignificant but now things have changed.

"..." Diana's feelings were complicated listening to Cortney recount her ti with her mother. She hated Cortney for being the child of the person who tortured her most in her life, her master Clown Mask. She envied Cortney for having a mother.

Diana soon learned that Cortney was being trained to be her replacent, after she had betrayed decided to distance herself from the Circle and subtly rebel against them. Diana could not believe Clown Mask would be so cruel to her flesh and blood, her only daughter. She began to pity Cortney. She no longer envied her for having a mother.

Then during the rebuilding of the city's orphanage, she had co to know of Cortney not just as a file her subordinates complied for her but as a person, a fellow being. All her complex feelings towards Cortney resolved and then she began to see Cortney as her sibling similar to how she saw Jaya. This was mostly because they both had similar tragedies in their life the Circle and Clown Mask.

"What do you an?" Cortney asked Wyatt in confusion not understanding what he was asking her.

"I an when you were little before you grew up and beca strong. If you faced a problem who would go to? There must have been an adult that you felt comfortable around, sharing your worries and secrets with them," Wyatt elaborated in a way that Cortney could grasp what he was asking her.

"Umm, let think. Most adults who approached or I approached either tried to sell , molest , or take advantage of . But I understand what you are saying.

There was this old whore from the Redlight district that saved and brought to the orphanage.

Then there is the orphanage headmaster. She was the kindest person I know. Growing up, she would never get angry with or lose patience with . Even now she treats like one of her kids— Oh, now I get what you ant.

The way to improve the orphanage system was to find more people like the orphanage headmaster. If there was more of her then she could take care of more kids.

Holy shit, the answer was right in front of . How co I never saw it until now? Wyatt, you are a freaking genius. Now think of a way to find more people like the headmaster," Cortney was excited, finally understanding what Wyatt was getting at.

Cortney could not believe that the answer to improving the orphanage system was so simple. Once again Cortney was motivated and hyped. Going as far as to ask Wyatt to do the impossible, to find selfless, patient, and good-hearted people like her orphanage's headmaster.

"Cortney that is not possible—," Diana spoke seeing that Cortney did not understand fully what she was asking Wyatt to do. But before she could explain it to her, she was interrupted by a furious Cortney, "Why not?"

Cortney was angry with Diana and Cindy for saying that they would stick to donating money when they knew that the answer to improving the orphanage system was finding more people like the current headmaster of the city's orphanage. But then thinking of sothing, she gently knocked herself and the head said, "Sorry, I got ahead of myself. Wyatt has never t the headmaster so it will be hard for him to think of a way to find more people like her."

"Girl, are you hearing yourself?" Cindy asked Cortney in disbelief. She knew Cortney was air-head but this was just too much. That was considering that as an orphan, Cortney should know better than anyone that people like the orphanage headmaster were very rare. Almost non-existent.
