If Jillian's mom found out that he's the one that drove Jill to the dark side because he said they're no college in her future, would she be angry at Fung for taking away her choice and future?
Jill's mother is very conflicted when it comes to her daughter. She loves her and adores her like all her children, but...
Her older brother is a typical college boy, wild and crazy. Whenever the phone rings, it's him up to, or already done something troubling.
Hey younger brother was born at 6 months and was very weak for a few years. He's better now at 9 years old and highly intelligent, but there's still that fear...
Ever since she was born, there was something...different about her.
From disappearing in a blink of an eye at a store, to just chatting away with animals like they understand her, she's given her parents more than her fair share of scares. It really came to a boiling point when she was kidnapped from her backyard at 5. She was gone for a week until she just...returned. The man who took her was found dead, the cause never released to the public.
It was a terrible week for her family, and she doesn't remember it, so Jillian never brings it up.
But it still haunts her mother.
For the next 10 years, she's been nothing short of a helicopter parent to her in public. Her mom never let her wander too far in a grocery store, made sure she stayed in arms length on vacation, and put people through the ringer if they asked how she was doing.
Ballet was a outlet for Jill to get away from it all and just be free for a bit. Just her in the studio and the beauty of the dance.
Then the situation happened.
Jillian started going downhill socially and mentally after it. Many people turned on her in their small town, and her parents were at a loss on what to do. They were terrified of losing their girl.
Then a headmaster from a boarding school in China approached them about one of their children being a choice student.
Her mother was against it. Sending her off to a foreign country? Alone? She's barely been out of the USA let alone all of North America. She's a baby! Their baby!
Her father has a different view. She goes just for a while, until everything dies down. Until they can make sure she'll be safe at home.
It kills her mother...but she agrees.
Jillian agrees to go. It's what's best for everyone. It's what's best for her family. It's what's best after what she did...
When she returns home after becoming evil, her mother thought she would be happy. Her baby girl's home, she's safe, she's not thousands of miles away, she's back safe and sound.
Why does she look so sad?
Things hopefully get clearer when her friends from school come to visit.
Her daughter is snapping at her friends, she's getting into more trouble at school, she's just getting worse.
Then she finds out about the boarding school not really being a boarding school.
And the courses not really being courses.
And the little boy with jaundice who was raised in a closet and a cult until recently doesn't have jaundice or raised in a closet and cult until recently.
She wants to be furious her daughter lied to her, she wants to be furious her daughter has been risking her life, she wants to be furious...
Because she hadn't seen her daughter so happy in so long as she has when she was at the temple.
When Jill decides to return, her mother lets her go. Because she knows her daughter happy is what she wants most.
...she does beat the Hell outta of Fung for the lies. And the danger. And the mental breakdown he caused her daughter.
