I can't tell in the ending of Captain Vampire if the mother is mourning Epistimia, and on what degree as a person than ambitions, but nonetheless it shows a dramatic change. I wonder how she's taking Epistimia running away without a trace, since her sister probably has no idea either.
the Consequences of associating with liatoukine haven't really come home to roost for her yet the way they do at the end of the novel, so she's probably still angry-upset ("how could she do this"). some amount of worried, but mostly angry. probably reaching out to her entire circle to try to figure out where she went, with the goal of bringing her back home.
