But Casey wouldn't budge, sobbing, "My mom's gone." Quinn was floored. "What happened?" Casey looked away, tears streaming down. "If I had known, I... I wouldn't have let her cback." She didn't finish the thought out loud. Her mom had been happy before she passed.

No matter how much Casey begged and cried, her mom still passed.
That morning, Casey went to call her for breakfast like always, but she never woke up.
