Mattie turns the cards over before she picks up everything else out of the safe.
They have names on them.
The blonde girls was mostly blank, with a 'C' on it.
The young man was labelled "Sun."
The brown-haired girl was labelled "Min J."
The elder woman's card was labelled "Eunseo."
The final one, the old man, was labelled "Goldzine."
Creepy.
She collects the cards, frog keychain and earrings, then the various plants and frogs and places it in the box.
She takes it downstairs to find Willow sitting by the window, looking out as if they were about to see their last sunrise.
It looked enchanting, sitting with a book opened in hand and golden sun pouring over your face.
As soon as Willow noticed that Mattie was standing there, they jump down and heads for the plants and frogs.
Placing the cards, frog keychain and earrings on the table after admiring them and takes the box over to the bookshelves.
Willow then goes through to the kitchen area, getting some nails and a hammer.
Mattie is still silent, taking the book and placing it back into the shelf area.
She flicks through the photos again, plotting something in her head.
Willow returns with what they needed, still not addressing the problem at hand: They've both been lying to each other, and worse, both have been living with a murderer.

A few weeks after that fateful day, and the two of them packed up, sold the house, and left for El Salvador.
A place with one of the highest Homicide rates.
"Your honour, I swear to you, there is no way it could have been my wife. I have proof."
Mattie finds herself in court for the second time this year, and its only midway through September.
"It's almost September 21st, and if this court date doesn't end well, we won't get to do anything for our anniversary."
Mattie has all sorts of thoughts running through her head as she gets her proof.
"Nothing else matters except getting Willow out of this, They need to be more careful. Although, it isn't really their fault for getting caught by surprise."
Mattie's mind won't stop racing, this being the main thing running round and round.
Mattie suddenly feels a pang of courage, thinking back to sitting on that windowsill in the library during golden hour. "Here."
