Alita found herself traveling all the way to Watersand town to meet her maternal family. Since she couldn't possibly remain in city U with her relatives on her back, she decided to go and meet this family.
She could tell that her mother's family meant well and there was no malice from them. it was also visible that her mother had left home without telling anyone thereby causing a lot of trouble and distress for her family.
There should be a reason for doing this and the only culprit she could suspect at this point was her supposed father. She didn't believe that man whoever he is wasn't the cause of it.
To make her mother leave such a beautiful place to go to Reqox and suffer as a single woman, she wasn't going to forgive anyone who caused trouble for her mother.
As she didn't know the way, she was forced to travel with her cousin Quera and the girl was talkative. Thanks to her enthusiasm, she got to learn so much about her mother's background and the feeling was just great.
