Inside Karen's thoughts? They were pure madness:
Ben-chan? Dead?

Fuck… Mom never jokes about things like this… and Ben-chan seem like one who would hide an illness…
But Ben-chan, why? Why didn't you tell me…?
Ben-chan is really dead? Is that really possible?
"Arrggghhh!!!" Karen suddenly broke out into a manic, fear-instilling scream, further frightening her mother and daughter. "NOOOO!! IT'S A LIE! PLEASE TELL ME IT'S A LIE! TELL ME IT'S A FUCKING NASTY PRANK! TELL ME IT'S ACTUALLY APRIL'S FOOL DAY AND NOT VALENTINE'S DAY TODAY!"
The scream was shuddering, and raw and jagged, echoing off the marble floors and glass walls.
Mrs. Steven recoiled, her hands flying to her mouth.
