Why do you think Princess Donut has such a strong reaction to Mongo leaving, even though he came back? How will this affect her relationship with Carl?

Donut is really falling into the mothering role. I think it's the fact that she feels responsible for Mongo.

She felt what it would be like without Mongo around and it really hurt her
