‘Throughout the day, Rena was overcome by a sense of melancholy.
When she gave birth to Alexis, she had grappled with severe depression. It took a year of medication before she fully recovered. Today’s visit to the cemetery had stirred up old emotions, dampening her spirits.

What an extraordinary coincidence!
Out of the blue, a child who bore a resemblance to Rena’s daughter materialized and that child had no mother,
Vera regarded it as unreliable. With earnestness, she advised, “You must be missing Alexis terribly, Rena.
Perhaps you should consider meeting other men.
