Mom was near a front window when it stopped.

She recognized the passenger from the image of the woman who had gone to Lily’s school.

The school footage had been shared through the appropriate safety arrangements.

Mom had seen enough to know that the visitor was not someone she should welcome inside.

She did not open the door.

She called for help.

Ethan took Lily away from the entrance and stayed with her in a room where she would not have to watch the visitor through the glass.

He followed the emergency guidance rather than going outside to demand answers.
