Voiceover (daughters voice) whilst unpacking: It was march 27^th, the day I just arrived in my new home after I find out that my father just passed away a week ago. The thing I feared the most. Even rose didn’t expect it. She said that death is nothing to be scared of, it’s a new beginning. I’ll never get used to the feeling of loss and dissatisfaction that I’ve faced my whole life, crying is the only way I can let it out without getting caught oh, and the box that carries all my memories of my father, it contained every soul, thought, memory and feeling. Me. I don’t seem like anything anymore.
