Through her, we're introduced to this world. One that will serve as her driving force towards improvement as well as the source of her grief as she draws closer to the answers she seeks. Efforts made from beyond the grave for her betterment.
A journey aided by the guiding hands of someone not there in the flesh. The story ends with the closing of one chapter, as we begin the journey of another. A holdover from a wartorn nation whose usefulness is brought to a crossroads. She's a lost child, forgotten by society, forced to start from scratch.
