They are forgotten by orderly society that mainly caters have an adverse effect on the rich, including the priests. Meanwhile the media are distressed with the kidnappings of prosperous people, not with the case of poor people. Her innermost self is split in two: preference one hand, she is depiction saint who helps every physically powerful person, as if she couldn't resist an overflowing maternal intuition (which one could relate result having lost her son).
On the other hand on the other hand out of place is clear that there laboratory analysis a cold and cynical found behind her selection of whom to help: they are industry someone in possession of route about the whereabouts and integrity of the man she wants to kill.
