Vera died, drowned.
——Buwell: "Vera's soul may still be floating here and watching us, but my soul will be burned in the fire of hell forever from now on, and I will continue to repent until I die."
——Alemis: "I shouldn't be so proud, my damn self-esteem is not that valuable. I am willing to kneel in front of Vera and beg her for forgiveness, but it is already too late, she is already dead."
——Vicki: "I miss Vera's voice calling me "idiot", I miss the smell of the breakfast made by Vera, and I miss the way Vera and I play games."
