For the first few days, Scarlet was happy living in her room. She could sleep late and sleep in with nobody bothering her. Her mother would always bring meals to her door and leave them there. There was minimal communication between mother and daughter too.
Initially, Scarlet was worried that it might all be a ploy to make her let her guard down. The girl would always lock her windows and barricade her door before she slept, afraid of the punishments to come. However, after three days of similar treatment, Scarlet was convinced that her parents simply didn't want to let her outside. Her suspicions were confirmed when she overheard them talking while in the toilet one day.
