She struggles to be faithful to herself and her own choices while confronting her Brother, Her father, and Her former lover. All in the hopes that she can break free from the sinking feeling that she may have died of her own actions. Her struggles with self acceptance, mental illness, and familial ties come to light as she wrestles through accepting herself and her choices. Even in death, maybe even especially in death, her choices matter.
