* AdultFear: For a lot of people, it's having a relative like Poppy. It's definitely the case for Amber In-Universe, as she has to start a new life with a lie that she'll only be gone for two weeks to get away from Poppy and their enabling mother, only to get stuck with them ''again'' when she gets sick.

At some point, when she becomes old enough, Amber strikes out on her own, getting away from her mother and Poppy. At first, things are ok but the good times don't last and Amber gets sick and her mother, with Poppy in tow, come to take care of her. However, ''something'' in the house makes it clear about how it feels about Poppy (and it isn't nice) and Amber wonders if she'll ever escape.
