When she was five years old, Lin gave her daughter a "doll" as a companion. Qi and this little boy named Isaac would play together. The little boy always looked scared. Qi asked what was wrong, but they found Lin standing in the doorway, staring at them. One day, Lin took her daughter and Isaac outside of the house into town for a festival. Everything was going fine until one of the vendors noticed how scared Isaac looked. Lin said that everything was fine before taking the kids home. Days later, Isaac disappeared. Turns out, her mother had murdered him and buried him in the rose garden.

Throughout her childhood, Qi had many dolls. They would all come and go without question. Turns out, the dolls' souls were possessing her body. They revealed the truth to her. It would all come to a head soon.

One day in December, her mother lured her upstairs. They stood in the middle of a circle of lit candles. Qi didn't know what was going on. Lin stabbed her in the chest, killing her instantly. However, the girl didn't die. Her soul hoovered in the air with Isaac as Lottie took over her body and attacked Lin. Qi asked to be the one to kill her mother. Her soul is returned to her body and she stabs Lin to death. It's Noelle who stops her when the deed is done. They go around and set the house on fire before they escape.
