When the group arrives at the garden, the girls are surprised to see that they are not wearing mourning clothes. They are wearing make-up, which is a family tradition. The girls' mother tells them that they should not get involved in the "rumors" about the girl because it is better not to do so. She tells the girls that she is glad they are doing what they like, and that it looks like they are starting to feel for the girl. She says that she does not know what is going on with the girl, but she does know that her son is still alive and that she will carry him around her whole life.
