The woman insists that she is their mother, and the twins use a magnifying glass to burn her face to compel her to reveal where their real mother is. The boys tie the woman to the bed and refuse to let her go until she tells them where their real mother is. The priest drives them home, and is satisfied with the woman's explanation that she is their mother. With the suspicion that the woman residing in their house is an impostor, the twins escape from the house and go to a church in a nearby town, where they try to get help from the priest. These doubts are confirmed when they find an old picture that shows the mother with another unknown woman who is wearing identical clothes and shares similar physical traits.

The twins begin to suspect that beneath her bandages, their mother may not be the same person. The boys comment that this is something their mother would never do.

The mother also acts cruelly and lashes out at Elias physically when he is mischievous or disobedient. Though it is the middle of summer, the mother orders the twins to keep the blinds closed during the day, imposes a strict rule of silence inside the house, and allows them to only play outdoors. She pointedly ignores Lukas and appears to only acknowledge Elias in conversation. The twins are unnerved by their mother's appearance and are further taken aback when she begins to exhibit strange behavior. Her head is swathed in bandages, with only her eyes and mouth visible.
