Months later, Elizabeth's mother died, leaving Elizabeth as aunt Felicia's responsibility. It wasn't a shock to them when Elizabeth went into her mother's room to check on her as usual and found out that she wasn't hearing the usual breathing sound her mother made from her oxygen mask anytime she entered the room. She had to call her aunt to go check why it suede became silent in the room, and when her aunt got there she stood for a while, grabbing Elizabeth and pulling her close to her skirt. She told her to go outside and wait for her while she got talking on her phone.
