This was clearly her first time doing something like this, as she had forgotten to check if the door was locked in her panic, which was a foolish mistake.

Zack was utterly horrified by what he overheard. He couldn't believe that his mother, who wouldn't even dare slaughter a chicken, was capable of doing something so terrifying.
