Mia’s mom kept her away for three months while her house was “under renovation,” but something felt off. When Mia visits unannounced, she finds the door unlocked, the house strangely clean, and a peculiar smell. Inside, everything is too pristine—like a hospital. She hears a creak upstairs and finds her mom, frail and bald from chemotherapy, revealing she has cancer and didn’t want to burden Mia.
Mia, devastated and angry, confronts her mom about keeping it a secret. Despite the tension, they share a long emotional moment, with Mia assuring her mom she’s not a burden. Mia moves in, taking time off work to care for her mom, and they spend her final days together, sharing memories and love.
