"Back home in the Phillipines, my sister, Jalilah was murdered within similar circumstances as your mother, and since Jalilah died 10 years ago, I've seen moths and snakes in my dreams... I never dreamt of that mess before, ever... and they're most vivid around the anniversary of her death, I always thought it was a coincidence but hearing this leads me to believe it's not."
