I think it should be her son's life. So which scene will you follow? Keep with this one for a bit more or see what is going on with Ranma?
Going to Ranma for a bit then back to Seto who let Nodoka in on this little conversation.

“I’ll tell you when I need to calm down!” Ranma yelled at empty air, realizing too late that he was no longer facing Seto but the large bed of his room on the Mikagami. “Damn it!” He shouted ineffectually before grabbing the edge of his bed and roughly throwing vertically up against the wall. His dresser received the same treatment, bouncing through the front door, to smash against the grass outside. Huffing and puffing in the center of his room, he glared at the wall, daring it to incur his wrath until his bed came down on his head squashing him to the floor. Popping his head and shoulders out the side, Ranma growled and cross his arms, his left eye twitching angrily.
Yelling in frustration, he stood up suddenly, and bent the bed in half before shoving it outside. Everything here reminded him of Seto, her lies, and the future in space he had condemned himself to. Ranma paused in his anger, feeling that something was amiss. “Wait.” No one had taken the restrictions off of him, he should be as weak as a normal human.
When no answer came for his concern, he stomped out of the home sized room, and headed towards the control area to look for Seto so he could continue giving her a piece of his mind. He didn’t know how to get back to the field where they had been but there should be someone there who can teleport him back. Asking around, he found out that none of them new Seto’s current whereabouts because she had not wanted to be disturbed. Growing frustrated that his first act to find Seto had failed, he headed down to where the Mikagami’s real body was housed.
“I take it you’re not going to help me find her, are you?” He asked the otherwise normal looking tree, standing in the shade created by the leaves.
“Yes I’m angry at her.” He exclaimed indignantly at the ships answer.
“No I’m not going to—hurt her.” Ranma wanted to emotionally hurt Seto but he didn’t want to physically harm the woman.
“Hey! She started this.” He crossed his arms and sat down in a cross legged position. “I am completely calm and I don’t appreciate being told that I need to calm down.”
Rolling his eyes and sighing, he just wasn’t getting through to the tree. “There’s a time to get angry and there’s a time to not, this is one of those times where I should be angry.”
He paused at the Mikagami’s next question. “You want me to explain it to you? I thought you knew it all from Seto. Oh—I didn’t know you could keep things from each other.” Scratching at his chin, he had thought they were constantly and freely sharing information between each other. “If I tell you, will you take me to where Seto is?”
“No promises, huh?” Uncrossing his arms, he leaned back and planted his hands on the grass. “I guess I can try.” He didn’t know how much a sentient tree could relate but it would give him time to come up with more reasons to be angry with Seto.
