She did not yet understand what death meant, that she would not see them again, although it was unlikely that life would change much for her, almost from birth she was raised by her uncle, while her parents were on countless business trips.
At last, the man with red eyes finished collecting and, closing the urn with ashes, turned to the girl.

Her uncle could not persuade the girl to go to school again, so she ended up being homeschooled, fortunately, because her parents left a considerable inheritance.
