Marta was Mayra's favorite aunt who enjoyed playing with her as a child. One day on a shopping trip, Mayra fell from Marta's bicycle and got a swollen forehead. Marta was afraid of getting in trouble so convinced Mayra not to cry.
Mayra's cousin accidentally broke her chin with a piece of wood while playing. Her aunt was angry and didn't let the cousin sleep at the house that night out of fear of hitting him.
Mayra's mother enjoyed dancing as a youth but her father disapproved. One day she snuck out to a dance performance anyway and got in trouble, though her grandmother intervened on her behalf.
