That same day, her father was discharged from the hospital and sent home. That evening, she overheard her parents talking about how much money was needed for the hospital stay.

The next morning, instead of going to school, Ellie skipped and went straight to the south gate to wait for him, staying there until nightfall.

When she returned home that day, Ellie was severely beaten by her mother.

She waited at the south gate for two whole days, nearly collapsing from hunger, until a former colleague of her father’s found her and took her back home.
