During January, frequent rain persists, and Yara devotes her mornings to cleaning and errands, masking herself with a sweatshirt hood and the smell of Clorox.
In her spare time, Yara attempts to process her grief and sadness by writing in her journal in the sunroom, amongst her husband Fadi's stored work supplies.
Yara brings her daughters, Mira and Jude, to the library, where they read a book about a girl's sad summer quest to find her mother, leading Yara to become emotional.
On the drive home, listening to a Fairuz song reminds Yara of her mother, who sang until her sadness silenced her voice, evoking Yara's own tears.
The girls question Yara's crying, to which she admits having a sad day, recognizing her pain but also her determination to shield her daughters from such hurt.
Yara tells her daughters she loves them before they respond in kind, a moment which deeply moves her.
That night, the presence of Fadi's boxes in the sunroom, a space she uses for reflection and healing, unsettles Yara.
Yara, battling with her emotions, manages to move one of Fadi's boxes out of the sunroom in an effort to reclaim her space, signifying a struggle for personal balance.
