When Lucea's parents are about to leave, her mother takes a closer look at her face.
"Dear, have you been crying?" This is strange. Beatrice has never known her daughter to cry ever since she was a little girl.
"No, of course not! Why would I cry as big as I am? Something entered my eye." She wipes her eyes to remove the last trace of the cursed tears. Her mother has noticed them!
Beatrice is not fooled. She knows something must be wrong with Lucea.
Moving closer to her daughter, she holds both her shoulders and looks in her eyes.
"What happened? You were alone in the house..." She turns to Mia. "Did you quarrel with your friend?"
"No, mom. I told you an insect entered my eye! Why are you insisting?"
Her mother let's go of her. "Alright. If you don't mind, we are going to bed now."
