Shallan believes the world is ending and it is her fault. She is crying. As her father tries to get her to sleep, he wipes some blood from her face and starts singing a lullaby. Shallan thinks she is a monster that kills and thus is unworthy of the love and affection her father is giving her. In the room there are several corpses one of them being a woman in white, Shallan's mother. She didn't bleed very much, as opposed to the other corpse, a man. As Shallan and her father pass the his save in the wall Shallan can see the light form the "monster" coming from inside of it. After the song ends her father leaves the bedroom closing the door on the corpses.
