Author Notes:
I think this one worked out pretty well, do think it makes for a good sequence really kind of showing us another side of Jenny we haven't really seen before. I don't know how much of the issue of her mom is really a conscious fear of hers but I do like what a radical departure this kind of is from her usual cheerful, caring nature, that there is a lot of uncertainty underneath the surface on that. Especially given how by contrast she seems to be pretty close to her dad.
Weird how both comics right now are having mom abandonment issues as one of several focal points, we've got similar stuff going on with Candice and Ivy League in Wright as Rayne at the moment.

Wow what in the world is going to happen now.
In the meantime, yeah.... Jenny's been shaken out of her nightmare now courtesy of Vespi and Valerie. In the third panel especially you can see Vespi holding Valerie back from just trying to brute force through this nightmare and trying to get more information from Jenny about what exactly is going on. With context that her "Mom" doesn't exist, she's suddenly free.
Jenny hugging Valerie and Vespi in the last panel was meant to look... different from Jenny's normal hugs. It's usually just a show of affection, here it's meant to look more hurt and desperate. She's been pretty freaked out by her nightmare and it hit pretty hard, so she needs that bit of warmth once she comes out of it. Especially since Valerie's sum up of "Your Mom can't be here because she's too terrible to come back!" is a pretty harsh way of waking her up. Valerie isn't trying to be mean here though, she genuinely wants her out, and in all fairness.... This is the sort of thing that's got no "soft" answer to it.
