A few days before the dream Victoria's mother named Alexa, an ambitious hormonologist, who had been left pregnant by the father, was visited by her already adult daughter.
Alexa:
Deep in your studies you want to marry
since there's an unborn that you carry
I'll save the congrats tell me rather
who in God's name is the father?
Victoria:
You know him. Christian. My first love.
Alexa:
Damn it. There is no God above.
I should have told you all the truth
about the boyfriend from your youth.

but Christian was always half your brother.
You can't get married, should abort
and could indeed take me to court

Victoria runs to the basement crying. Alexa follows her slowly.
Alexa:
Being dumped I poisoned your dad
and gave you hormones to make you fat
so you wouldn't repeat my tragedy.

Victoria:
We are one. I won't abort
but surely you will go to court.
At last she saw a sad surprise.
Alexa shot her between the eyes.
