Rosa returned home from work at 5:30 p.m. and chose to relax rather than go out or engage in intimacy. She reflected on a recent autopsy she conducted on an eight-year-old girl who died on her birthday. The girl had been left alone by her parents, who went gambling at a nearby casino, while she was in the backyard pool.

"The girl was doing laps in the backyard pool when her appendix ruptured, no one there to hear the cries for help. She made it back to the shallow end but the pain doubled her up, and that's where they'd found her—the parents, so shitfaced they couldn't remember where they'd left their car keys." The tragic death highlighted neglect, with the parents too intoxicated to notice their child's distress, leading to a heartbreaking loss.
