The end of that Saturday brought about some changes to the Yamazaki family, but Akira was not affected by the occurrence. She continued living her life without caring too much about external factors, including the aftermath of the disastrous day.
Even though the Old Master tried to keep things under wraps, the grapevine in Mountain Ridge was powerful. People found out a few things about the Yamazakis and discussed them with some excitement.
For instance, everyone knew that the Old Madam was sent to the hospital after being pushed to the brink by her daughter. She was not diagnosed with a specific disease, but she became lethargic and restless after the event. Home care was not sufficient, so she was taken to a live-in medical facility.
