* JerkassGods: Maria admits that after the death of her mother, she's afraid to even hope for things like a visit from her father because she believes that God is cruel, and that he'll take away anything she asks for even if it's only in her heart. She got scared the moment she realized she wanted her father to attend her Happy Grateful Party because he would have to get on a plane to come and see her, and Maria's mother died in a plane crash on her way to visit Maria for her birthday.
