Picture of Hillary's mother's hands


I didn't understand this part....why was she so frantic looking for the picture of her mother's hands?

reply

Considering it was right after the scene with Victoria commented about how her and Hilary have the same hands, I think Hilary was just trying to see if she and her own mother had the same hands since she couldn't remember much about her mother.

Your logic does not resemble our Earth-logic.

I thought Hillary was looking for more evidence, sadly, that her daughter could inherit her condition through genetics. Perhaps if they had the same hands, other things could be inherited, also.

reply

I understood it as the sudden realisation she couldn't remember that detail about her mother made her afraid Victoria would forget her

It was a virus...those don't get passed along the gene pool.

When you're 17 a cow can seem dangerous and forbidden...am I alone here?
