On the next morning, she is taken to the castle by the mute servant, where she meets her weird Uncle Howard, his wife Abigail and his daughter Carmencé and Linda, a blind girl. They tell that her stepmother Herminia is on the deathbed. When she visits Hermínia, she tells her to leave the castle and dies. She starts entwining daydreams and nightmares with reality.
