The trauma of the event caused Kaeleigh’s mind to split, forming another personality, that of her dead sister, Raeanne, who often takes over in times where Kaeleigh would otherwise falter. This eerie, creepy alternative personality takes over Kaeleigh’s life for some period of time, influencing her decisions and making her do things that she naturally wouldn’t contemplate; “I have no real right to play stand-in for Kaeleigh, but she wouldn’t have the nerve to do what needs to be done anyway.
