The story

An eight year old Veronica is given music lessons by single mother Alicia in her private residence, where she also teaches her son Walter. Around this time, Veronica's mother, Roseangela, became terminally ill, and Veronica's father, Jim, and Alicia began developing a romantic relationship, which was resented by Veronica, as she viewed it as Jim having an affair while Roseangela was still alive. One day, Veronica sees Alicia asleep on a couch with a lit cigarette in her hand, causing a fire that Veronica witnesses, but does not stop, allowing Alicia to burn to death.
