So true. I never really got why dying soldiers in movies called out to their mothers until I got into a bad accident as a grown-ass adult myself. My mom wasn't even in the same country, and actually gets mad at me if I get sick or injured doing stupid shit, and still one of the first things I did was stupidly call out for her. It's automatic, it's instinct, as if her being there will somehow save you and keep you safe and make everything horrible go away. Poor Montana. The best thing to hope for is that she was unconscious throughout; the next biggest mercy is that if she was conscious, she knew her mother was there.
